D. E. Finial From Motor Standarte 70

The finial of N S K K Motorstandarte 70, stationed at Gelsenkirchen. The cloth and the finial were taken from the flag storage room in the basement of the Fuherbau, Munchen, in early May, 1945. All of the finials were made by the firm of Otto Gahr of Munchen. I was fortunate to obtain both the cloth and the finial a few years back. I would love to find an original pole and tassles. However, I fear that is an impossibility.
I am seeking period photos of this D E in use.
