It does look like it. He was probably a sign writer who had been doing a similar job for the Luftwaffe.

Nice, Chris, but do Spanish Bf 109s qualify as 'captured'? Like the Deutche Wellingtonflugzeug.

It's to rest the wrist of the 'working' hand on, to make for a steady stroke at a given distance. So simple, yet so effective.

That's it for the stick.
Acts as a bridge over wet paint. Can use it to arcs, straight edge for straight lines.
And whacking people for asking what the stick is for!!!!!

Oh, I also have one that is a golf driver shaft for a long one.
