"Mensura wambu"

Hallo!

Has the meaning (and perhaps correct spelling?) ever been solved?

I mean the inscription on a JG 77 Bf 109, see for example https://pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6595 for photos.

Today Youtube suggested me video about Mensur! Quick googling provided information that mensur is academic fencing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_fencing
At least for me a new avenue of thought.

But what is "wambu" (spelling?). Is there vocabulary for mensur?

Edit
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Rec...Germanic/wambu



Cheers,
Kari
