Re: Another wreck of Bf110

John,

That is a very real possibility. Often (but not always), the written/hand-painted number "7" had a horizontal line or dash placed across the stem to distinguish it from a 1 with a "flagged" top. However, the number "1" was itself sometimes different in that the "flag" at top was longer and at a significant downward angle. To me, the second digit on the armor plate suggests a 7 more than a 1. I notice that the stem curves up and to the right and that the upper line is both short and horizontal.

I appreciate knowing what the C-1 to C-2 over-stamp denotes - I have several identically marked 110 plates.
