I've got a rather large hand painted German Imperial flag. It's 5' x 4' in size. Don't have the faintest idea of it's usage. Anybody have an idea?

Looks to me like a model 1903 IKF as used by vets
up through the 1920's until the 3rd Reich era (1933).
As such worth IMO around $500 USD or so.

I've had it for years but it has been in trunk and I just pulled it out today as I've been meaning to ask about this for a long time.

origin & use speculation ???

German veterans migrated here in those years? Perhaps
that would explain the grommets for hanging in a hall or
sorts? I have very little experience with flags in general.
