Hi, this is actually the emblem of 2./JG 26. It can be found described in:

Luftwaffe Embleme 1939-1945, Ketley & Rolfe, page 49.
and
Messerschmitt Bf 109 Into the Battle, M.Payne, page 26.

The 109 is consequently, with high probability, from 2./JG 26 - But who could have had the "Dog-emblem" as a personal emblem?

Re: Photos 10-22

Could http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=130165891666
be this machine? Does the triangle behind the balkenkreuz denote a 2nd Staffel in the Schlachtgruppen?

Bf 109E-7, 6212, n.n., , 2., Schl.G. 1, , , , , 08-May-42, Landing accident., , Ostfront, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #6)-Vol. 9, , Grammatikowo, 30%, F, ,

A second look at my database shows a 'c + ^' lost on the same date from the same unit, this photo would seem a likely match to WNr. 6212.

Re: Photos 10-22

So, that black shape is a dachshund! Thank you.

Auction closed by the seller? Methinks perhaps someone has quietly rolled big money at them for this one.

Re: Photos 10-22

Most probably, John. Yet another situation when due to the item's extra publicity and the seller received "an offer he could not refuse"... :D

Re: Photos 10-22

It is this guy or Sudek,what is the difference?
