Re: unknown Staffelabzeichen from Geschwader "Horst Wessel"
The bird is taken from one of the original illustration plates of the German children's story "Hans Huckebein, der Unglücksrabe" by Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908).

Attachment 9536

Obviously with the addition of an MG ringsight it is known as the early emblem of 3./ZG26 also seen on their Bf110s.
