Anyone have one of these? I blurred the three swatas's :shock: .
I saw it at Carlisle, Pa. Spring Swap Meet 1992. The picture is kinda skewed cause it was being viewed through a glass cover. It's a big china plate.

I have not seen this before :roll:

The KdF script looks a little strange 8)

The license plate reads IIIA-42803 which was on the KdF Cabrio :roll:

The KdF Sedan used IIIA-42801 :?:

I hope it is original and someone has it and some additional information about it as well :lol:

I have never seen anything like that before. It would have been nice to see a pic of the back of the plate, to see the makers mark.

My first impression is that is is not real. I say this because I do not beleive they would have made something like that with 3 prominent swastikas on it. It looks like something an amateur designed, and thought it would look good with swastikas all over it.

This is just my opinion....I might be wrong, but I also might be correct.

The antiques market was flooded with Chinese "reproductions" of hand-painted commemorative and advertising plates in the 1980s and early 1990s that look authentic to the untrained eye (including my own).

What's strange is that if the KdF plate were a Chinese knockoff, one would assume there would be several out there on the auction sites being passed off as genuine; just like the cornerstone pins...
