Kriegsmarine Navy DKiG in cloth

[Richard Sysum]

Hello Everyone

Were cloth DKiGs issued when there metal DKiG were given or were they able to buy them at a later date.How much rarer are the navy issue cloth DKiGs and if it is an attributed piece can that give it more value?

Regards Richard

Ricard,

DK in cloth were not awarded, only in metal. Cloth versions had to be privately purchased. You can often find them with price tickets still attached.

KM versions in cloth are rarer than Army or Luftwaffe and probably on a par with Panzer examples.
