more about collecting SS-SBF's ...
Sebastian:
I disagree, IMO III/43 SS-SBF pole edge has been repaired,
and replacement rings remounted via external added loops.
Original ring loops are internal edge mounted, not external.
Many surviving SS-SBF's are without original rings, as they
were torn off their poles when taken as souvenirs in 1945.

MCY:
Ditto that, I too no longer collect war souvenir flags , and
since 2010 only certain screen used Hollywood movie flags.
I stopped collecting SS-SBF's in the 1970's, having obtained
SS-SBF I/5, SS-SBF Signal Bn 4, SS-SBF II/72, SS-SBF I/107,
and long before ever encountering a SS-VT or SS-TK SS-SBF.
