Identity of He59 (eBay pic)?

On eBay here is a nice pic of a He59. A stkz? is partially visible, but also covered by other markings. Is this He59 known to anyone?

Re: Identity of He59 (eBay pic)?

This aircraft is a He 59E (enclosed nose section) and at the time of the photo was serving with K.G.z.b.V. 108. The two bars on the nose indicate II./K.G.z.b.V. 108 and the number "2" above the Stammkennzeichen give the individual number within the Staffel. The colour, yellow or white, will give us the Staffel. It was most probably He 59E W.Nr. 2863 with Stammkennzeichen BV+HH. The photo is taken in Norway but I can not give an precise location.
