I recently acquired this artifact and am trying to gather more info on it. I know these events were fairly well documented during the day, and I would like to dig up the unit and perhaps pilot of this aircraft. The piece was definitely cut from the prop of an aircraft and the detailed info regarding the crash should help a lot

I'm pretty sure this is a Bf 109 E-1 of 1./JG 77 flown by an Unteroffizier Keck who bailed out and was captured unhurt. The aircraft was on escort duty for bombers attacking Hornchurch airfield and was returning when attacked by Hurricanes from 501 SqdnCollecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.
