HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Tmine is correct, the plate is from a Schloss 500/XII bomb release unit. Basically the release hook attatched to a 500kg bomb mount. The Fl number is the reference number to the item, anything begining Fl 50 is to do with armaments.
Thats about as much as I can tell you. It would be interesting to find a book with details of all the different bomb mounts, further research may reveal the type of aircraft in which this mount was used.
Very interesting item - thanks for showing it.
Below is a similar plate that is attatched to a relic 50kg mount I have in my collection
regards Kev
here is a link to a thread on the 50kg rack to which the plate is attatched
