Von Alles - Did you Download the #59 shot by any chance? - Ignore the question please - I finally managed to open the image on ebay.

On top of letter 'G' in copyright word there seems to be some kind of emblem. Or it's my eyes playing?

Re: Ebay fotos 03-03
 

I don't think it is an emblem : too much forward. The picture has a bad quality.

Re: Ebay fotos 03-03
 

the fact it's so much forward (almost next to the armor ring) is why am I not so sure about it... but on the other hand it is quite contrasty & defined when you look at it up close.
But I guess we will not know until who knows when who ever purchased the photo doesn't publish it somewhere well scanned.
Few things seem clear:
- machines are with MG17s in the wing roots (A-1s)
- gruppe bar does look black and that would put them in 5./JG26 if we assume they belonged to JG26 in 1st place (Few A-1 photos that I have showing aircraft of 5./JG26 do show it on an airfield that has concrete airstrips so that could be a match too)
