Galland’s Me-109F Side Panel displayed in Ace's Living Room

Interesting interview! About the Galland panel, I suggest it's a post-war (relatively recent) reproduction. Various ace's markings, including those seen on vertical tail sections/rudders, have been done this way. Nice wall displays, conversation pieces. That's not to say that some actual part of a Galland aircraft doesn't exist somewhere, but I don't think this item is one.

Franz has been a family friend since 1942 (he served with my uncle in Africa), and I have been in his house on several occasions. I haven't seen this piece before, certainly decorative.

The 'panel' is a current offering. I cannot recall, who is making them, but they are offered over the internet. They do not resemble actual pieces and are nothing in kind of copies nor replicas.
