Unknown emblems

Two photos of aircraft with unknown emblems have recently appeared on eBay
1] Focke Wulf Fw 58C from eBay http://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-Foto...item3cbe10ad19 shows a flower emblem...could be an unopened Edelwiess?...but cannot find it in my list of emblems... Could be a training emblem, although full image shows the aircraft surrounded by a number of army troops with rifles and winter coats and horses. This gives the impression that the aircraft was being used in a forward role, rather than training.
2] This Caudron C-445 is on ebay http://www.ebay.de/itm/Originalfoto-...item3cbe109749. It has an emblem which I cannot identify. Its most likely a training unit. Caudron C.445 were mostly with FFS C and LKS units. The aircraft has the stkz BJ+U?. The emblem may be a flower/leaf with some similarity to that of FFS C 8, but appears to be a light colour with something else at the centre.

Neither have been found in the usual emblem sources, any ideas are much appreciated.

Regards

Ian

Re: Unknown emblems

Hi,
the first is probably not an Edelweis but maybe a Maiglöckchen.

Regards,

Norbert

Re: Unknown emblems

Hi Norbert

Many thanks for the flower identification! ...This is apparently commonly known in English as Lily of the Valley. Flowers do appear in emblems of several training units and a few other units, but none looking like this one.

regards
Ian
