WW2 German black flag with Eagle and tassles, original or fantasy?

[Discostu]

Hi all,

I was wondering if this flag is an original, a copy or a fantasy. The flag is coming in the mail, and is black with yellow tassles and a yellow eagle on front.

Any help greatly appreciated, better pictures will be on their way when it arrives.

Cheers!

Discostu You should ask before you buy the item, that way you won't get burned

An SS eagle by wing design, somewhat like known
60x90cm SS command flag fakes, but done in gilt
on a black background rather than more expected
silver color. A podium banner by style & configuation.

Half of the'Hogans Heroes' cast is in here too, John Banner, Werner Klemperer, and the SS Major (can't remember his name) all appear in the movie at some point, it is one of my favourite movies !

Sorry to go off track with the flag query, couldn't resist throwing this in

The SS Major was Hocksteter(sp?) The edging was done with a pair pinking shears. By using those the edge wasn't supposed to fray

fake vs. movie prop militaria ???

Below left, the HH SS officer from WAF t= 298389.
I do like movie and TV prop militaria, especially
vintage WW2 produced examples used even later.
But post #1 gilt SS pb is not from gau Hollywood.

"Stalag 17" on free over the air antenna Grit-TV.
