Default Aviation cockpit instrumentation for evaluation

I am a headgear + uniform collector so really not up to speed on avionics and values...
I am considering throwing these on estand and would like to find out some values (its not all German though...)

Lets start with a compass (fluid is very dark...but can be flushed I was told) with proper "FL" markings,
which is a bomber related instrument I have been told but the same instrument was fitted in a ME262
(designed as a figher-bomber)
what's a realistic asking price for e-stand?

another view of the compass gage! Note Luftwaffe "werke number" and "FL" number.
It works but the fluid is very dark (dirty) and hard to photograph but you can see the movement.

ME 109 control stick part with gun trigger + trigger guard...
This item is either unfinished or possibly even a a cast repro... even though it does have a makers marks...
I have no idea... worth something?

This is a switch for cockpit and/or instrumentation lighting (a dimmer) and common in most LW aircraft I have been told.
This one still glows really good in the dark. (with "FL nummer)
Value assesment?

The bottom 2 remaining instruments are USAAF, not interesting for most probably!

Another Axis instrument, a Horizontal Horizon, this came out of Betty bomber I have been told...
Who knows? Its absolutely genuine Japanese WW2 vintage, that I do know!
Value? I heard such Japanese instruments are very rare... True?
