This pistol is dated 1942 to the rear of the safety lever on the left side of the frame. The tops of the barrels are both marked with a 4 in a circle (4-Bore) over the German definitive black powder proof (1939-1945) of an (EAGLE) / SP. This same proof appears on the rear of the receiver between the L and R barrel selector marks, and is covered when the selector switch is in the middle or “both barrels’ position. The signal pistol is marked with Luftwaffe acceptance stamps plus the serial number 10358 on the forward lower portion of the right hand side of the frame, and the Luftwaffe contract number Ln 24483 is present on the opposite side of the frame,
the Ln for Luftwaffennachrichtentruppe (Air Force Signal Corps). The pistol has a frame mounted safety with F and S markings. The pistol uses a break open design that is activated by pushing the release lever forward. This action releases the locking lugs, opens the action, cocks the pistol and automatically sets it on safe. After closing the action the shooter can use the selector switch on the rear of the frame to determine whether they want to fire the Left barrel, Right barrel or both barrels simultaneously, by pulling the split trigger.

WW2 original German Early Junkers 88 A-1 Aircraft Data Plate,
Possible "Battle of Britain"
Original Junkers 88 A-1 Aircraft Data Plate, 1940 dated. Plate is manufactured from aluminium.
I am unsure from what part of the aircraft this is from. but still a really nice piece of an iconic aircraft! Size approx. 52mm x 22mm, DW. G.M.B.H. Ju 88 A-1, with various other markings & codes.
This plate is dated May 1940, the aircraft that this came off would most likely have been manufactured in the readiness for the "Battle of Britain" in the July of the same year, just 2 months later, so this aircraft could have likely been used in the battle.
​​
The Junkers Ju 88A-1 was the initial early production version of the Luftwaffe’s premier World War II multi-role aircraft, entering service in 1939 as a fast medium bomber and dive-bomber.
The A-1 was a primary Luftwaffe bomber, attacking shipping, radar stations, and airfields. It struggled with defensive armament against RAF fighters, leading to rapid development of the improved A-5 and A-4 variants.
