I need some help IDing this seat.......

Howdy all

Could be from a P-40E, all of the P-40N seats Ive seen were made out of Bakerlight
It will be interesting to see what this seat goes for, this will sell like a Hot Cake !

Not a wldcat seat or frame.The seat is round backed at the top but not at the bottom and the frame is squared off at the top not round like the pic of the wildcat.Could of come out of a P-40 N model because of the upper mounts.The lower mounting bosses would go with the casting mounts on kittyhawk wings.The seat is also missing the angled filler panel at the bottom(You can see where the spot welds were chiseled.)

The seat itself is the same as the original seat out of an FM-2. The mounts are different but the seat is the same. I'll find a pic of the seat out of the recently completed FF FM-2 I shot during the process and post.
