Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Aircraft Inlet Valve (Einlassventil), as used ONLY on the DB605 series engine!  This engine was used on the Me109 E-F and Me-110 C-F!
The Daimler-Benz DB 601 was a German aircraft engine that was built during World War II. It was a liquid-cooled inverted V12, and powered the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Messerschmitt Bf 110, and many others. Approximately 19,000 601s were produced before it was replaced by the improved Daimler-Benz DB 605 in 1942.
At its core, the DB 601 was an improved DB 600 with direct fuel injection. Fuel injection required power to be taken off the drive shaft, but in return, improved low-RPM performance significantly and provided aerobatic performance in maneuvers where early versions of carbureted engines like the British Rolls-Royce Merlin lost power when the carburetor float bowl ran dry.
The 601’s fuel injection provided a significant boost in performance which its competitor, the Junkers Jumo 210, did not match for some time. By the time the fuel-injected 211 arrived, the 601 had already cemented its place as the engine for high-performance designs like fighters, high-speed bombers, and similar roles. The 211 was relegated to use in bombers and transport aircraft. In this respect, the 601 was the counterpart to the Merlin engine of roughly the same size and power.
The DB 601Aa was licence-built in Japan by Aichi as the Atsuta, by Kawasaki as the Ha40, and in Italy by Alfa Romeo as the R.A.1000 R.C.41-I Monsone.

Made of steel, valve is in EXCELLENT used condition.  There is NO corrosion, bends, cracks or breaks, and could probably be used again in an airworthy engine! It also still features it’s original manufacture stamps and codes. I have indicated its location in the last photo.  Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!

Please note that as I have multiple quantities, the valve you receive may look slightly different than the example depicted in the auction photos.
