German World War II V-2 rocket injection valve used in the combustion chamber. The valve measures 0.75” by 0.75” and is in very good condition with minor rust accumulation.

The V-2 rocket was the world’s first long-range ballistic missile, developed by Wernher von Braun and his team during the Second World War in Nazi Germany, specifically targeted at London and later Antwerp. Commonly referred to as the V-2 rocket, this liquid-propellant rocket was a combat ballistic missile and the first known human-made object to enter outer space. It was the predecessor of all modern rockets, including those used by the United States and the Soviet Union’s space programs.
