JG 51, victories were marked for Günther Lützow, and aircraft was previously photographed with his Kommodore markings.

[luftwaffe.me109]

ok thanks for that so mayb it is gunther lutzow me109 when do u think the photo may have been from. i got this photo off ebay a long time ago.

If it is the same Bf 109F-2 of Luetzow, and not just a transplanted rudder, the machine does not appear in the Gen.Qu. losses. I seriously doubt that he was flying the machine in these markings.

Further Lützow defends the colors of the JG3...

[luftwaffe.me109]

ok if he was not flying this machine who was and with all the kills it has to be some one that was a ace JG51 or JG3 any one know any more

[Jim P.]

And I repeat, the kills were Luetzow's, the rudder, if not the whole plane being one he flew in Sep/Oct 41 as temporary Kommodore for JG 51. For whatever reason, the rudder was never overpainted when it and/or the machine were passed on to another unit.

Do you know the Wn of this machine ???

If its not just a transplanted rudder I would expect that the aircraft WNr. was 9704, that of Luetzow's well-known JG 51 Kommodore machine from October 41 (also a plane that I theorize Luetzow inherited from the 'real' JG 51 Kom. Friedrich Beckh who was hospitalized, I think, after a foot wound became septic). Unfortunately the WNr. can't be read/verified in the attached scans.
