New image (i think) from ebay.de today, claimed as JG.77. It's Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke's aircraft but he was in JG.53 and JG.3.

A Bf 109 B-2 does not exist (unofficial designation for B-1 with variable-pitch prop), 6-10 was a Bf 109A

No, not even a B-1, AFAIR in Mtt or RLM documents you only see references to a Bf 109B. B-1 and B-2 were unofficial designations used to differentiate fixed-pitch (B-1) from variable-pitch (B-2) prop versions.
Many book authors claimed these designation to be official designations. They even claimed a Bf 109A did not exist without any source backing this up.

Walter "Gulle" Oesau and his rudder.

That is incorrect - Walter Oesau did not mark his kills on his rudder - that was one of his many quirks.

That plane belongs to the former commander, Wilhelm Balthasar - it was being used for photoshoots at the time.

Hi
More Me Bf 109 score markings belonging to the JG 51 :

1 and 2 - Me Bf 109F-4 (13 blanc - W. Nr. 1432) du 7.-JG 51 Oblt Walter Oesau le 29 août 1940

Regards
Pascal

Are you absolutely sure that belongs to Oblt Oesau? It is a known fact that he avoided flying the F series for a very long time, as he did not like them, and only began to fly the F series after parts for his Emil were no longer available.

Plus, it was one of his quirks that he would not mark his rudder with kill markings, for some reason or another. 1940 is still a bit too early for an F series to be flown by Oesau. Do you have the proof that WNr 1432 did indeed belong to Oesau? I know of several other pilots that did use 13 as their marker, and Oesau's 13 was usually green painted over the yellow.
