Finally got your message,Originally posted by nzef1940 View Post
Yes I do have the Nazi battle flag that the New Zealanders captured at Tobruk. It is an amazing relic of the war in Afrika, all faded and repaired by the Germans at the time. Have the documentation of how it was captured and by who.
However, the one I have with all the NZ signatures, units, numbers & adresses is the one from the German surrender in Trieste 1945,

First I have to find where I have put it. Got it years ago and have put some where safe.
Also I am not on the forum as much these days because I am flat stick on other fronts. The interest is certainly not dying, the problem is other things are taking over.
However, as soon as I get a chance and dig it out, I will post some images,

Any DAK items
I'm 17 so I don't have a lot of money to spend for the big ticket items. Here is two years worth of my afrika collection! Sorry for all the pics

The AKCT is an original. Here is a thread that shows some of the variations, post # 2 & 18 are similar to yours.

Thanks Chris
Look forwards to seeing the Tobruk Flag when you can. Do you know what day was it taken ?
On Mike's outstanding Gambut Flag, that must'a been one great party that Christmas. The DAK were dugin back in Agedabia, really unique

That someone is wrong. Take a look at the thread in the link again post # 2 & 18. Yours does not have the "tartan weave diamond back." Nor the diamond shaped "O" from the reverse etc, its a fine originalOriginally posted by Panzer402 View Post

A lot better than I was doing at 17. Nice collection and original AKCT. That palm is a known post war production but appealing on the same hand as I once had one around 17 myself.
