Here is my Nord Ostsee triangle. This is the second piece I've ever seen.

Hello Micheal, would it be possible to see the reverse side of your patch please?
 
Sure. Please excuse the quality, just made a quick shot with the mobile

Thanks Micheal. Wierd seeing the weave going in that direction and that odd-looking right side but if I remember correctly, these were done on a continuous roll so some were offset? Rare triangle that one but you know that already :)
 
Agree, the back does not look like the other triangles I own, but the collector where it comes from is absolutely trustworthy and an expert, so no doubts here :)
 

Hello,

The triangles appeared in 1933. Between 1933 and 1936, the manufacturers did a little bit of what they wanted. In 1936, the RZM regulated the manufacture very precisely. Only the font will change in 1938.

Most triangles manufactured between 1933 and 1936 are
among the rarest.

"Nord Ostsee" (1933-1934) exists in 3 different "non standard"
manufactures ("standard" = 1936-1945). Here are the pictures of these 3 fabrications (To have the exact chronology, picture 2 should be picture 3).

Best regards

I like your compilation; one can learn something from it again. Your photos clearly show the similar manufacturing process of two of the three area triangles on the back. The third triangle had a different font and a different back. Anyone who owns such a triangle can consider themselves lucky; they are almost never available commercially.
