Re: Unit Emblem Identification

Hello folks,

Thank you all for assigning a unit to this emblem, which has also puzzled me for some time.

I'd like to share a few photo scans, mainly old eBay auctions [except the last one] --

1st and 2nd scans - Fw58 DK+AV - notice the boot emblem behind that of the prancing horse of FFS A/B 32. Does anyone know of any connection between the FFS A/B 32 and Verb. St. 68? Or could it just be a case of the aircraft changing units and carrying both emblems?

3rd scan - the boot emblem on Fi156 PB+QS - can anyone confirm the unit this aircraft was assigned to?

4th scan - the boot emblem on the rear of a sidecar [it appears quite clear in spite of being some distance from the photographer]

5th scan - the cherry on the pie --> an unidentified unit emblem pin posted on the WHA forum in 2006. An exact match with our boot. So questions on the colours can be answered much earlier than expected.

Andre
