Jens:

I second Rabe's assessment. The plate shown is of a type commonly used by Focke Wulf on assorted subassemblies, parts and components. Information found on those plates refers to those individual items, not the host aircraft. It should be noted that a Fw 190’s werk nummer was sometimes stamped on plates in addition to the main identification plate. For example, on a plate fitted inside the fuselage or inside vertical stabilizer. Yours is not one of those, however. Examples of 190 main plates can be seen at: http://fw190.hobbyvista.com/plates.htm
