    How about something from WW1, like a Sopwith Camel.

    Position of brass firing button suggests a spade grip from a Hurricane minus the wheel brake grip and the rope wrap

    Answer:

    Okay probably not a totally fair question - yes the grip is the same as used in early Hurricanes and early Spits. The firing system on these early aircraft were pneumatic! Anyway this particular spade grip came out of a Canadian Car & Foundry built Harvard (T-6) with guns installed for gunnery training.

    That explains the brass trigger button. Nice work on the B-17 painting.
