Hello jamoros,
Are the three Hersteller code letters discernable on the Typenschild? Respectfully, Steve Sheflin |

Re: BF 109 tail wheel
Hello Jamoras,
Thanks for posting the nice additional images. The Hersteller codes to which I refer usually take the form of three letters and refer to a specific producer. In particular, I expected that the code “ckz” ('Kronprinz' Aktiengesellschaft für Metallindustrie, Werk Solingen, Langenfeld u. Hilden [all NW]) might be visible. Kronprinz is a known maker of tailwheels for the Bf 109. Respectfully, Steve Sheflin |
