who made the flags ???

[Dmv]

#24, from another RDF example, SI or St ???
24. KRESS SI Tonis [in block], correction?, *Merdock & *BKW(RDF)
.

I think it isn't a producer, but that it should read:
Kreiss (like county/area) St. Tönis
somehow the i wasn't stamped?

Google St Tönis:
Tönisvorst is a town in the district of Viersen, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is situated approx. 5 km west of Krefeld.
See:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=nl
"Tönisvorst wurde am 1. Januar 1970 aus den Gemeinden St. Tönis und Vorst sowie aus Teilen der Gemeinden Anrath, Neersen und Oedt gebildet."

#24, maker and location ???

I think it isn't a producer, but that it should read:
Kreiss (like county/area) St. Tönis somehow the i wasn't stamped? Google St Tönis:

Dmv:
Thanks for your suggestion, so just did a google search and found there
textitle.euro-companies.com/germany.htm reference which has listed
the KRESS GMBH & CO. KG as a textiles Import/Export company. So
indeed it seems that St.Tonis was a WW2 flag factory location.

#12, interesting LOH marked RKF...

#12, interesting LOH factory (my #12) flipped size marking, which
IMO appears to prove that such markings were done via a stencil
rather than by a fixed rubber stamp impression. Also says their QC
folks didn't care, or even more so that such markings were just
administrative at the time - not so important as we collectors these
days make them out to be as some measure of authenticity. Likewise
most LOH made flags seem to be without the KM-eagle marking.
But I'm still trying to figure out what and where the LOH factory was,
maybe (my #10) Ritto-Werk Loh Gmbh, or (my #11) Christophorus
Josephus von Loh? As seen on many other 3rd Reich period made flags.
