I would have never thought so!

Excuse me for barging in

What makes you believe the photos are from II./JG 27 in the first place?
Statement on the back side or just seller's own statement?

All
I must say Franck has a point. Arrows were not common and to me the most famous one using that was von Werra....

With regard to the WNr, I can only see the two digits 2 reasonably clear, but perhaps they are much better visible on the originals.
Having said that why is the last digit 5 impossible? Are WNr 2025 and 2625 totally out of the picture?

Cheers

Stig,

You didn't read my posts. There is NO QUESTION that the W.Nr. is 2023, based upon another very clear, close-up photo of this tail that exists. Nor is there any question that this is a II Gr a/c. See the horizontal bar on the posted photo. The only other possibility is a JG Stab a/c. This photo, however, has previously been attributed to Wolfang Lippert, the II./JG27 Gr Kdr by a very reliable source. Now we're just trying to figure out how this might fit into Lippert's career.

Stig,

All I have is what the previous owner said. But as Larry points out my posted photo does at least indicate a II Gruppe unit. The original does indeed show 2023. The second w.nr. is definitely up in the air at this time. I just did a re-scan and it is 2023.
