    Battle of Britain Relic with story

    Being offered this item from a local auction house where I live (Didn't sell last auction).

    It's a deformed compressor fitting from an crashed Me-109 flown by Luftwaffe ace Leutnant Erick Bodendieck of 4./JG 53. On Sep. 18, 1940 Bodendieck found himself engaged in a dogfight with British ace R. W. Exspring of 66 Sq., jumped as Exspring was involved in a fighter sweep over Kent. The German plane crashed at Guilton Ash, near Sandwich at 5:05 PM after Bodendieck bailed out severely wounded, later to be captured.

    Any idea on what this might be worth guys? It ain't much but it's a relic.

    It is a smashed FK5 liquid compass (upside down). The KF5 is an unusual compass and definitely right for a 109E. In this condition has no value other than the value of its history (if you believe on it, of course)

      I agree with Roger. This is a relic that has a nice story behind it and as far as value goes, it isn't worth anything monetarily I believe.
