Hello Frank:
Post #1 NSKOV top does have a vintage look
to it, but good looking fakes are also out there.
See WAF t=679569 for more on NSKOV pole tops.

Hi
These are my two NSKOV pole tops, the right pole top is made from aluminium and has a RZM mark. The left pole top is much heavier and made from steel imo and has a makers mark.
Thanks again
Frank

Thanks again OFW
Both pole tops are so different, not just the weight but the height and the circumferences of the flag pole sockets.
Thanks again
Frank

i like pole top on left ,but i am concerned about the alluminum one ..it appears to be one piece casting ,where as ,the ones i have encountered ..the sleeve was a separate piece ,attached by screws to the topper ...so is it conclusive ,after OFW "s approval that there are different variations of the alluminum version? ...

Hello EC:
Interesting comment. I just did an online survey
and didn't find a RZM M3/27 alluminum NSKOV
with a "separate piece" sleeve. Have you? Just
curious, as I'm always open to learning more on
period variations and/or recent reproductions.

(below) Noted this one online ...
Veteran's Standarte Pole Top in Alluminum,
RZM M3/27 ... $375 USD.

[John T]

They make them in India

[John T]

Yes they have separate piece sleeves for the aluminum ones....can't recall the maker codes. The early Otto Gahrs are the best IMHO

[oldflagswanted]

Which ?

They make them in India

Hello JT:
Which? Are you talking about solid cast
RZM M3/27 marked NSKOV tops? If so
do you have an India repro source URL?
