1949 FDGB Flag

[Thälmannpionier]

here are a few images of the oldest/earliest flag currently in my collection.

its a FDGB flag awarded in 1949 from the FDGB to the FDJ.

i have to say,although everything is stitched and not printed on this flag,its made very simple and nothing near to the later fancy looking FDGB flags.
buts its made of very thick cotton.

the stitched letters in the top right corner are very narrow and almost looks to me like hand-made....is it possible??

definitely handmade and don't forget, we are looking at an item from 1949 here and a very nice and unusual item it is, too.... its a shame that it does not say which Land it comes from...or is there something on it that would indicate the Land in question? Cheers, Torsten.
