You are welcome Ed,
I just gave a rough, general comment, to stick the thread and explain that we effectively facing an Erg./JG 2 - EJGr. West - JGr. West album.
Of course the emblem is from EJGr. West, not exactly JGr. West... But that's the idea though.
Regards,
Franck.

Is the Fw 190A in the photo believed to be 190.012.0497 or 190.012.5497?

Thanks so much for patience.

Hi Rabe,
Don't worry.
Matti and JoMe already gave their respective answer, and 120497 is given in Michael Balss list; details matching with Matti first answer.
As for your doubts, Matti Salonen last post is cristal clear.


Best regards,
Franck.
