Hi, A friend of mine found this Kriegsmarine Flag in a ship and paid £20 for it, the owner who sold it to him had no idea if it was real or not. We’ve seen these all selling (Genuine ones) for about £500. From theses pictures is there anyway to tell if this is real? Thanks!
Yeah the owner didn't have any idea of the flag. We are just trying to figure out from the pictures I posted if it is a real flag or not
Our German flag man, James, hasn't been seen for a while. There are doubtless some here with the gen on how to ID these things, but you might be better asking on Wehrmacht Awards, AHF, or U-boat.net. Good luck. Looks old, doesn't it, and people do still find such bargains, though there is a substantial layer of fakery. (And if selling, be cautious around online offers to buy. Do some sniffing about as there's some right shades in that market. )
von Poop , just saw this and intending to be round a bit more than I have. The flag is sadly a very poor quality reproduction. Size marking , proportions and construction are all wrong.
