real vs. fake ???

Any info about one in private collections?
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 ???
Originally posted by amiklic1 View Post...did KM had any special pole tops, or it was a mix of Heer and others?
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.
