N S K K Command Flag

[Bob Coleman]

This Wonderful Automobile Command Flag For An N S K K Obergruppen Js Been With Me For A Long Time. I Am Posting In The E-stand Later In The Cloth Insignia Section. I Want To Give You Political Collectors Are Heads Up First.

well, Turns Out This Is A Fake. Another Piece To Start The Evening Hearth With. There Is An Identical Example In Angolia's Book On The N S K K On Page3 198. I Have Never Seen Another So These Evidently Were Made In Limited Production. Hte Clue, Which I Should Have Spotted, Is The Lack Of An Umlatt Over The "u." Thanks For The Heads Up.[

Hi
it's a bad copy : I have the same in my collection
Cheers

Sorry for the bad news Bob. I think these were Japanese made and date from the late 1960's / early '70's. These leather corners and tie tapes feature on this whole range of fakes.

Cheers, Ade.

ADE-
I THINK THESE LIKELY DATE FROM THE MID 70'S AS I DO NOT RECALL SEEING THEM WHEN I STOPPED COLLECTION IN 1973.

things were being faked even in the 60's and 70's?

that is surprising and bad to hear.

STUFF WAS BEING CRUDELY FAKED RIGHT AFTER THE WAR. IN THE LATE 50'S, A GUY I KNEW WAS DRIVING AN OLD VOLKSWAGEN WITH A FAKE POLITICAL ARMBAND AND A FANTASY S S RUNE ARMBAND ON HIS SUN VISOR. BOTH WERE ON A FELT BASE WITH RAYON DISCS.
