WW2 German Luftwaffe Aircraft Einspritzpumpe – FUEL INJECTION PUMP – DB605 Me109 – NEW OLD STOCK!

You are bidding on an EXCEPTIONAL and 100% ORIGINAL WW2 German Luftwaffe Einspritzpumpe (Fuel Injection Pump), for the Daimler-Benz DB605 Aircraft Engine! This is an EXTREMELY difficult to find New Old Stock example that was captured by the Royal Air Force at the end of the war and brought back to Great Britain, where it remained preserved in its original German storage grease! This was famously installed in the Me109, Me110, Me210 and other!

The Daimler-Benz DB605 was a 35.7-liter, liquid-cooled inverted V-12 aircraft engine developed from the earlier DB601 and became one of the principal German fighter engines of WW2. It was most famously installed in the Messerschmitt Bf109G and later Bf109 variants, while versions of the DB605 were also used in the Me110G, Me210, Me410 and several Italian and other European fighter designs. One of the defining features of the DB605 was its direct fuel-injection system. The Bosch PZ 12 injection pump used twelve individual pumping elements, driven mechanically by a camshaft, to meter and deliver precisely controlled quantities of fuel to the twelve engine cylinders through their individual injection lines. Direct injection allowed the DB 605 to maintain fuel delivery during combat maneuvering and formed an important part of the sophisticated automatic engine-control system employed by Daimler-Benz.

 Made of aluminum and steel, this Fuel Injection Pump is in STUNNING New Old Stock condition! The pump retains approximately 95% of its original reddish-brown German storage preservative, still covering virtually the entire assembly exactly as it was placed into storage during the war! Most of the original protective metal caps remain fitted to the fuel connections, with six caps presently absent, while the remaining fittings and connections retain their original factory sealing and wire-locking. All mechanical levers and moving components remain free and operate smoothly by hand. Features no notable dents, cracks, broken components, corrosion, missing mechanical parts, repairs, repainting, cleaning, or restoration! One exposed threaded fitting shows some localized impact damage to the threads, almost certainly occurring during later storage after its protective cap was lost, but this does not affect the overall integrity of the pump (also easy to replace, if one wished). The main identification plate is marked “9-2305 B2” together with the wartime manufacturer code “bjp” (Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart). Features two additional identification plates marked “PZ 12 HP 110/25” and “PZ 12 HP 110/40,” (most likely signifies an upgraded pump for the AS or early D engines). AS this was captured at the end of the war, the original RAF stores tag remains attached and is marked “ROYAL AIR FORCE STORES”; “PUMP FUEL INJECTOR”; and O.H.M.S. together with the handwritten British stores number “Y44555” and “GER,” identifying the item as German equipment. An absolutely SUPERB untouched example retaining its original wartime preservative, factory sealing, protective caps, and documented RAF capture tag! EASILY the best one I have seen in 25 years of collecting! A FANTASTIC surviving piece of the fuel-injection system from one of the most famous German aircraft engines of WW2, it would be a PERFECT addition to any advanced Me109, or Daimler-Benz restoration…or simply for display!
