Nice RZM 60 first pattern NSDAP eagle pole top.
As for cleaning the flag's white circle spots, IMO
not much is gained by attempting such, and you
risk damaging the flag material including causing
holes - something much worse than any stains.
I like to leave flags the way I got them, but to
each their own on collection maintenance criteria.

I quite agree -- a very nice set indeed! Not being familiar with the details of the court system in Nazi Germany, I have picked up some background info from Wikipedia on the organization represented by this flag. Apparently this flag represented what might be known as "Kreis Vreden' located in North Rhine-Westphalia, though the term 'Gau' in this usage would refer to a regional court grouping of the Volksgericht in what would otherwise be known as "Gau Westfalen-Nord" in the PL sense.

If this were a PL banner, the corner patch would be piped in white -- or presumably in black being an early piece -- to represent a 'Kreis,' though this patch is piped in what appears to be silver. The patch's background field appears to be black or very dark blue, representing the Party Courts, but would the piping be silver for this designation?

I believe this flag would be related to the national judicial system rather than the NSDAP Court. Hence, the silver trimmed black patch with white may represent the colors of Freistaat Preussen of which Gau Westfalen-Nord was a part.
