Seeking photo of Bf109D-1 from JGr152 that was first RAF air victory of WWII

Hello,

According to the revised EoE Luft loss list:

27 September 1939: JGr.152 Messerschmitt Bf109D-1. Shot down by return fire during attack on No.103 Squadron Battles 8 km west of Hornbach and crashed near Bockweiler 12.30 p.m. (FF) Gefr Josef Scherm killed. Aircraft 100% write-off.
Scherm has the unenviable distinction of being the first RAF victory of the war.



1) To what Staffel did Scherm belong?


2) Are any photos known to exist of him, his a/c before he was shot down, or the wreckage of this aircraft after it was SD?


Regards,
