Re: Bf 109 photo
I definitely agree with Mike that the gauge was not from a 109. As he knows well, a large dataplate was attached over this gauge in the 109G, covering all the gauge surface. So, no red-white marks were painted over the green ring.
And, the metal panel is not original either because there was supposed to be only a cm or so was left on the right of the gauge. This was the leftmost gauge on the 109G panel. Moreover, the 109 on the photo seems to be an AS or G-10 version, which had a plywood instrument panel, not aluminum. Though, there might be an exception.
