Re: Unknown Emblem on a Bf 109 E

Ibex' horns are too big imo. And chamois horns are not that small as one may think:

I still am convinced the badges show chamois deer:

It´s important because the ibex is a symbol for central-alpine regions. The chamois is an ubiquitous symbol for lower alpine regions such as Kitzbühel/Tyrol and Bad Aibling/Upper Bavaria. Btw, the distance between both places is only some 70 km.
