Oh yes, sorry, now thats a whole other can of worms with who shot it down 🙂

I appraised an Aviation Auction collection back around 1990
There was a piece of fabric from the MVR Triplane with the cross intact
It came with documents to authenticate it etc
I wish I could remember who it was sold to .
It was a great piece

The Canadian Military Institute has the seat of Baron von Richthofen’s Fokker triplane, donated by Captain A. Roy Brown, a Canadian ace of the First World War, who credited with downing the famous German aviator. Also , a large piece of the wing structure and a piece of fabric with the german cross insignia
