Bü 131 with unknown emblem

A photo of a Bü 131 with an emblem is at eBay here. A close-up of the emblem shows a very distinctive shape, but I cannot make any sense of the interior.

The seller claims that this is the ‘Hentschel’ coat of arms. I assume that this is meant to be Henschel rather than the Hentschel clock maker (although quite surprisingly there are some superficial similarities between this emblem and that of the clock maker!!). The seller also identified a Heinkel He 72 with a Luftdienst emblem as a ‘Hentschel’ and an open cockpit tandem seat Klemm Kl 35 as a Bf 108. Therefore I have little faith in the seller's information.
