              fahnenrichter koln RKF flag, real or fantasy???

              this is large flag, maybe 5 feet x 7 feet. the colors are much darker than my photos show. nice looking maker tag sewn in, but looks hastily sewn in. what is making me think it's fake are the reinforced cloth grommet holes on both ends where the rope "used to be". Other than that it looks good. Did the Germans make these flags with reinforced cloth grommet holes? I've never seen one that was real.

                  so it would appear that someone has tried really hard to make something out of nothing? Is this one to stay away from? thanks

                    A combination of "real" parts with more recent
                    material repairs. Lots of unaltered RKF's are
                    available, so why bother with anything else.

                      Thanks so much for your expertise. The flag became someone else's unknown nightmare at the auction today.

                          And there is Fahnen Funk (made the largest flag at this time), maybe I missed it above.

                              Fahnen Hoffman RKF markings, does it look real?

                              Here are 2 shots of a Fahnen Hoffman Berlin marked RKF.
                              My question is do these markings look original?
                              Is the stitching correct? Anything that stands out as questionable?
                              What other things are there to look for in authenticating the flag?

                              thank you in advance

                                Hello gww2p:
                                IMO, a WW2 made RKF with "original" markings.
                                RKF material correct , color shade and sewing is OK,
                                with KM spec rope and corner supports, thus the eagle-M.
