Re: Bf110 with unusual code and emblem.

The emblem was used by III./ZG 26 in the Med, and was later seen on Bf 110s of ZS 2. Hence the ZG 26 Geschwader emblem in the top right corner.

Source: Photo collection of pilot Balthasar Aretz, who flew with III./ZG 26 in the Med. Emblem seen by me on photos of Bf 110s he had, taken during his time with III./ZG 26 in the Med.

Some sources say that the emblem is solely ZS 2, but that does not explain the ZG 26 emblem. My sight of Aretz's photos clearly shows the initial provenance of the emblem.
