Hello,

That could be a "Stammtisch" (German for "regulars' table") pennant (?)

Wikipedia said :
...Traditionally, the meeting table is marked with a somewhat elaborate sign reserving it for regulars. Historically, such a meeting might involve socialising, card playing (such as skat), and often political or philosophical discussions. The words "Stammtischpolitik" (Stammtisch politics) and "Stammtischniveau" (Stammtisch level), describe the simplified nature of Stammtisch discussions, and have an established metaphorical usage in describing simplified political and social discussions beyond the Stammtisch itself.

Best regards

Nice. I like it.

It exhibits some very nice quality characteristics but personally I'm still sus on it. Much better close up pics of all would show more...:

Whoever embroidered the lettering really screwed up on the "r" in Leibstandarte. All the letters are in Sütterlin script except for the "r". The "r" in "Hitler" is correct. Not sure what to make of that.

Agree with Steve, so I guess that would make it a fake?

While it's odd that the single 'r' is not in Sütterlin script, IMO that's not enough to say the banner is bad. It was not uncommon to see a mix of the various cursive forms on advertisements and in handwriting of the period. A single letter being different is unusual, but not necessarily (IMO) the kiss of death.
Very nicely embroidered.

Why would anybody fake something like this?

Looks like what it is, a period original.

I'd love to own it!

Good for you.

I found this stammtisch in 12. SS PzgD. sector, near Caen.
It certainly belonged to an old LAH member.

From the font and look of the fabric, I have to say i like it upon first looks. It would take many more photos to determine exactly. But i am still liking it till proven otherwise. THats the grand thing about this club
