Messerschmitt 109 Data Plate
I have recently acquired a collection of hundreds of Luftwaffe aircraft data plates. Most originate from the Med and Western desert.

Amongst these plates is one that attracted my interest when I delved further. On it is stamped:

8/109 G-2
14256

I'd welcome any comments on what I may have here.......

Re: Messerschmitt 109 Data Plate
Well......Andy, I think you know what you have.....at least it seems that way. Maybe you can scan that data plate and we can check if our assumptions are correct!

Cheers,

John.

Hi!

Best thing to do is attach a pic. Could be a main plate, or parts plate (wing, etc.).

Hi Andy,

Seems to be a main data plate, the markings fit. If John is wrong and you still don't know what you might have, prepare yourself for a big surprise.
