IMO a ~$2K+ flag, based on rarity.

Hello hcliffe:
IMO, a very rare naval format version of the
Flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army 1935-
1941 (Flagge des Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres).
FOTW says - "In 1941 Hitler made himself Commander
-in-Chief of the Army, in the wake of the Soviet winter
counteroffensive which resulted, among other things,
in the dismissal of the previous Commander-in-Chief,
Field Marshal von Brauchitsch. Thus the above flag
became redundant at that time — though technically,
I suppose, Hitler would have been entitled to use it."

IC-OdH flag was likely never used by Hitler, as period
photos show his preference for the 4 eagle C-In-C of
Armed Forces (Oberster Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht).

From previously on the WAF ...

Besides the RKF & vet flags, actually having
any of these flags is IMO a major acquisition,
with some even being impossible (Navy Inf.)
