Have done research about this LH2 Fuel Valve from Saturn V Launch Tower, but still can't be sure if this is the real deal. Welcome opinions and advice. Thanks.
The device comes from the collection of the late Charles Bell. It is a fuel valve (liquid hydrogen, LH2) from the upper levels of a Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT), but it is not known which of the three LUTs it came from. The valve was collected prior to 2000, the year of Charles Bell’s death. Parker Hannifin, a manufacturing company specializing in motion control technologies, is the contractor who manufactured the valve.

There is a red metal badge on the side of the valve identifying the part and spec number of the unit:

VALVE, PREVALVE, BALL ROTOR, FUEL
PART NO 2630117M1 Parker NASA SPEC. 10MQ1694-II
Hannifin Co
SERIAL NO 103 Los Angeles, Calif 60C20340 U.S.
