Hi Ian

I think i't's a stylized version of II./ZG2's white dragon on a black shield. The other image with this photo was also II./ZG2 the German aligator chasing the British fish in a circle.

Looks like more a winged crocodile than a Dragon ... that reminds me another unknown emblem, still on Bf110, taken in Norway.

Franck, do you have a copy or source of the Norwegian emblem?

Yes Ian I have. I've been home to get it ... wait for a while .... Here it is.

Note that both are mere outlined drawings. If I dare I would say that's the same unit, the starboard side bearing the normal emblem the port side showing personnal variation on same thema. What I mean, in fact, is that with that second picture we may be have a clue.
Note that my picture was downloaded from eBay on 25/26 December of 2008!!!

... But I could be wrong too ....

Cheers, franck.

Yes my friend that is what I had in mind!

Hi
Although we obviously need to see this emblem with a code, it is quite probable that it is a ‘version’ of one of the established emblems. In this respect I would agree with Franck that the emblem is a winged crocodile. I think that I./ZG 26 is the favoured option rather than the dragon of ZG 2

Or a dragon of sorts...

... And Google for Chlamydosaurus pics.

The other image shows the I./ZG 26 emblem, not II./ZG 2...
