THIRD REICH HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT NSDAP POLITICAL LEADERS ORTSGRUPPE DISTRICTE FLAG FOR BAD TOLZ .
This is a very interesting political leaders district flag as Bad Tolz is famous for the SS officers training school which was based there. Red cotton flag with white circle with black swastika with silver fringe to three sides, large double sided brown wool unit patch to upper corner with white lettering, BAD-TOLZ WEST, with blue edge piping for the Ortsgruppe level of political leadership. There are a couple of small moth nip but nothing which is significant, there is some old glue residue to one side probably from being displayed many years ago but a good restorer could probably restore / remove much of this. Historically interesting flag which would be an important addition to any SS or NSDAP collection, this is the only item I have owned from Bad Tolz Exc++
