Description
The Daimler-Benz DB 605 is a German aircraft engine, built during World War II. Developed from the DB 601, the DB 605 was used from 1942 to 1945 in the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, and the Bf 110 and Me 210C heavy fighters. The DB 610, a coupled “power system” powerplant comprising a pair of side-by-side configured examples of the DB 605, geared together in the front to turn a single output shaft — and which, like the similar DB 606 that it replaced, weighed 1,515 kg — was used in the A-3 and all A-5 variants of Germany’s only operational heavy bomber, the Heinkel He 177A.
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 it’s 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. |
