The seller has a number of great photos - wonder if they are all from the same collection?

That's a lovely striped DIII - don't recognise it, but the last photo you listed looks very much like MvR's red DIII with the Albatros logo left unpainted (except this plane appears to be a late DIII with off-set radiator), and Georg Simon's green-banded Js11 machine beside it. Seems a bit unlikely as they're all from the same lineup, and as I said, never seen such a distincly marked (striped) Alb with early Js11.

Thanks for the links.

Nice Fotos!

It took a while to find, finally made it. I believe that they're all from the same JASTA. First impression was that the first foto is of a Green and White Albatros D. III, the Black Eisenkreuse is definitely darker than the stripes. The last foto also reminded me of M.V.R.'s ALB. D. III.....Great fotos! THANKS, FOKKERJ
