relic Flak pennant

[Gary Wood]

I know this is not the flag and banner forum but! this item i bought from Russia some time ago, in the pictures i could only make out the word Flak, as it was still covered in some parts with russian crystallised soil I eventually got around to cleaning it and removed the rust with an acid formula .
the first couple of photos are the original ones from russia

Geez Gary....
did you know it was SS or were you content with it as just a flaK unit?

Nice job!

[Panzer Rob]

Uh...Am I the only one who sees a skull in the lower right hand corner of that last shot??? Freaky.


Gary-

Very nice piece indeed! What sort of measures do you have to take once it's removed from the acid bath to help preserve it?

Holy Cow!!

Only if the context and location in which it was found was recorded. Otherwise most of the 'history' has been lost.



Gary, do you know where it was found? Should be able to ID the unit if so.
