Totally rare cockpit dashboard switch ammo round counter, SKK224 from a Messerschmitt 109 number 1075 shot down by RAF Hurricane on 9th December 1941 and crashed near Murmansk in Russia

This is a lovely and totally rare that I have never had before cockpit part only used on early model E Messerschmitt 109 and from a Messerschmitt 109 that was veteran of all the main early war battles before being lost in Russia. This is the cockpit dashboard Switch and control box with machine gun round counter model SKK 224 the cockpit control panel. The aluminium panel still with electrical part attached and still with some original black paintwork remains and some maker markings still clear to see. The panel is not complete but mostly still there and still has a lot of nice original colours but has partly discoloured and with a bit of damage from the crash and being buried overall the part is in fantastic condition it is nice solid condition and is perfect for display or a real one off properly not to be seen again one for any collection and is 5 inches long by 4 inches in size. The part comes with 3x A5 laminated information sheets with a picture of the counter in place in the cockpit. The counter comes from German Messerschmitt 109 E-7 fighter work number 1075 yellow 10 of 3/JG77 the pilot was Leutnant Luhe Von Der Eckehardt.

This aircraft was a veteran of the battle of Britain flying from Norway and Denmark and the battle of Crete. The fighter was shot down by RAF Hurricanes with number 81 squadron serving in Russia on the 9th December 1941.The Messerschmitt crashed 10Km East of Litsa Bay on the Kola Peninsula between Petsamo and Murmansk in Russia.

Messerschmitt 109’s of III./JG 77 fought in the Battle of Britain from Scandinavia and were used in support of the Invasion of Greece and the Paratrooper assault and capture of Crete. Jagdgeschwader 77 then took part in operation Barbarossa the invasion of Russia with part of JG 77 serving with Army Group North on the Finnish front where this aircraft was lost in action.
