That is a great piece, although it is funny how stilted the main slogan on the reverse is.

Hello Uscha:
Indeed a "nice" veterans flag. IMO usually painted
Franco-Prussian War commemorative versions were
before 1890, and after that to lower a private purchase
expense. I especially like the circle metalic tress woven
weave pattern, non-metalic fringe appears post 1920.
