Re: 1939: a stunning Bf 109 E-3 flown by... St.G 7 !

Looking at the eBay photo again I see that the left side of the shield is slightly overlapping the vertical panel line which is intersecting the lower curve of the shield just before it becomes vertical. Look also at the upper part of the panel line and emblem. There is a small overlap of the panel line but no sign of a panel line through the emblem. In case it was painted over the panel line it ought to be visible even if it was close to the emblem border. To me the emblem looks like a "add on" also when looking at the photo at arm's lenght. If I'm proven wrong - so much more fun as the photo would be very unusal if so
