E-stand: Police hand signal, anhaltekelle, winkerkelle

[Gran Sasso]

I have owned some original ones in the past, but that one looks way different. IMO not WWII:

Sasso,

Please explain your concerns.

This is a feld-winkerkelle not the pre and war time civilian one that is red on the outside and white in the middle that also has the green police eagle in it.

The WWII feld winkerkelle is red in the middle and white on the outside, exclusively. Also you can see the big differences in how the handle is riveted.

Post war examples are red on the out side and white in the middle like this (early post war);

Here is a close up of mine, notice the WWII version of how its riveted and the opposite colors.
