      Have never seen anything like it so without provenance it could just as well have been made yesterday.

                  Without a firm provenance I would give this a very wide berth ... unless it was extremely cheap and you felt it would add a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to your display room

                    Doesn't really look like a funeral flag. I've seen flags and banners used on Heer funerals, not on SS funerals, however period made photograps didn't show anything similar to this one.

                      I don't know at all if this was used during a burial ceremony or something like this. Only my guess as it was found in an estate of an undertaker in the brunswick area.

                            IMO a unique fake inspired by a common fake.
