Oldflagswanted, and you said that there is no evidence of standard bearer insignia, and even you, as it seems, have one. Look at this:

It's my picture which I posted on the Colorizing photos thread several years ago.
Here is the closeup from original picture. It was taken in Steenwijk, Holland.

Nice photo.

I like the flag belt, nicely visible here.

I wonder if any KM standard and the belt was saved after the war. I never saw one.
Maybe only in some closed Russian archives, but we'll maybe never know that ;-)

Surviving KM truppenfahnen ???

...wonder if any KM standard ...was saved after the
war. I never saw one. Maybe only in some closed
Russian archives, but we'll maybe never know that ;-)

No KM truppenfahnen, SA DE or SS Sturmbannfahnen are
listed in the Moscow Museum collection per t=447920.

Oh, too bad. We're never gonna see the original one, I'm afraid.

Any info about one in private collections?

[erichcraciun]

Or this....

[oldflagswanted]

real vs. fake ???

...We're never gonna see the original one, I'm afraid.
Any info about one in private collections?

amiklic1:
Again none known in private hands too, at least so far.
Although KM-TF fakes do show up from time to time.

Oldflagswanted thanks for the info and great reference.

I'd like to equip one jacket with this insignia, but think that has no much sense when I'll never find a flag for the mannequin to stand with it in front of my door ;-)


Also, did KM had any special pole tops, or it was a mix of Heer and others?

KM Truppenfahne pole top ???

...did KM had any special pole tops, or it was a mix of Heer and others?

amiklic1:
KM Truppenfahnen used a gilt version of the Heer top.
Again none known in either private hands, or elsewhere.
Although KM-TF top fakes do show up from time to time.
