Measuring about 12 1/4 inches tall and about 8 inches wide, the item is shaped like an aluminum wingtip or control surface, with a set of three drilled and tapped mounting holes in the bottom edge (no base supplied). One side is fitted with a military style chronograph with glow in the dark paint markings. Mounted above is a pair of white shields, one bearing the red letter "R" and the other a design of a boot, and a bird's head in a circle, below is a set of German language markings bearing the flags or roundels of multiple countries, with German spelling of the names (Deutschland, Frankreich, Russland, etc.). The chronograph is installed in a metal mount, with hinged access to reach the winding mechanism and the adjustment knob. The "R" shield is associated with Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen", the "boot" with IV Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 51; both were established around 1939, and were involved in the Battle of France, Battle of Britain, action around the Mediterranean and the final defense of Germany, with JG2 seeing more action on the Western Front and JG51 engaged more heavily on the Eastern Front. The bird head has not been positively identified. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

Good overall. Some of the paint is worn or flaking, and the tip of the structure shows damage suggestive of shrapnel or a grazing bullet strike. The chronometer shows some damage to the hinge, and has not been function tested.
