eBay: one "Schwarze(?) 10", Bf 109 E.

Agreed, the area corresponds well with the Horrido emblem but the rest of the scheme doesn't look right for I./JG2 imo. The area would be about right for the I./JG3 tatzelwurm too, but neither I./JG3 nor I./JG2 had a staffel with the possible colorcombination for the numeral.

Regarding 8./JG54, usually the cowling was painted yellow after the birdemblem was done and they didn't mask it very carefully so it could become a little blurred around the edges.

Had it not been for the surroundings I would have guessed this aircraft to be another of those machines flown by JG77 in the Balkans with mixed up markings from multiple aircraft and units.
