Hei!

Could it be from 1.(F)/AGr 120? They had three Bf 109 G-4/R3 from May 1943 ( http://www.ww2.dk/oob/bestand/aufkl/b1ag120.html ). AFAIK they got codes from the end of alphabet: A6+X,Y,Z H. Or perhaps also W was used - A6+WH???? Which would make the "W" seen under the wingtip on the photo a tactical code instead of Stkz?

Cheers,
Kari
