Anybody know what it came from?

I'd say the silhouette is a dead give-away. P-38.

I was trying at dry humor. I wonder if anybody who frequents here had any doubt of its use?

Yeah you don't really want to stick your neck out around here! You might do something really silly like mistake an F4F-3 for an FM-2!
I just received my 20 lashes for that mistake.

I think I need to go home and study up on them. I'd fail any pop quiz on the differences right now. Other than my name and who made which.

...pun intended...
Martin,
I am sure there is someone out there who didn't know what this was right away. Thanks much for posting the ID and photos- I didn't have one or I'd have put one up. Appreciate your contributions much.
Now for the "Top 10 Reasons" it's not for sale...
1. I haven't broken out my Geiger Counter yet.
2. It is not for sale, it is for trade...
3. I wouldn't want Harvard IV building a project around it... or welding it up into a T6 flap and landing gear gauge (Hey Harvard IV, look for the red dots on the wings)
4. It looks too cool.
5. It generated positive interest and I think people like looking at this stuff...
6. I'm awaiting Rob Rohr's comments on it...
7. I hope to own a P38 once I get the Duck finished... I might need it for a spare.
8. Might have been on Rex Barber's, Tommy McGuire's, Tony Levier's or Richard Bong's airplane...
9. I might never find another one...
10. The USN will not come to claim it...
