    Relic condition RKF War Flag

    Showing here a recently-acquired item with a lot of character: a well-worn national war ensign (Reichskriegsflagge), smoke-stained and frayed from the fly-end back. While not full length due to wear, obviously of the smaller 80x135 cm. size. There are faint, illegible traces of maker or other markings along the bunting. According to the story, this flag was "liberated" from a flagpole in Berlin at the end of the war. If only it could speak, what a tale it could tell! I hope that fellow forum members will enjoy seeing this relic.

    Hello John:
    IMO, appears to be an authentic WW2 German made
    RKF, based 0n material color shade, & construction details.
    Interesting use story, but fly end wear looks to me more
    like from use at sea with some ship smoke stack exposure.

      My favorite kind of flag....used, "been there". I agree with OFW - use at sea with some ship smoke stack exposure.

      Nice relic.
