Actually I have a copy of a biography of von Schleich:


Whiteside, Darren J. Rampant Lion (Warren/MI: A & S Publishing, 2007). ISBN: 978-0-9791946-0-3.

In it there is a photo of a Bf 109 D of his but it is not reveal an insignia. No Bf 109 E is shown in this book. The book illustrates ( in black and white!) what apparently was his personal insignia: a stylized rampant lion wearing a crown, all on a circular white (?) field filled with scores of small diamonds.

Incidently, his full name was: Eduard-Maria Joseph Ritter von Schleich.
