Is this one original?

Hello!
Just a brief background. I purchased this pennant from WAF member/Moderator Jeff Clark several months back from his site. He acquired it from a local veteran who was in the 1st Army, 3rd Infantry division; fought from D-Day to Prague.
Sold archive is here

After viewing some of Jeff’s threads on WAF I’d say he has one of the biggest collections of pennants out there. So I trust his judgement.
He also has an NSDAP pennant of the same construction

Looks like complete trash. Stitching, tag, etc, and it's sold. Someone just got ripped off...Comment

Wasn’t this just sold on the estand for $625? http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=994264 I’m wondering if the buyer might want to comment?Comment

It just looked strange to me and I've never seen one with an rzm tag, but I know nothing about pennants and if the guy who got it from the vet is trustworthy I have no idea what to think.Comment

I hope this is not true, I have always bought from Jeff Clark thinking that he was a legit dealer. If this is true, he has lost my business....Originally posted by rebeldevil89 View Post

I will contact buyer and have him view this thread.
Does anyone have any original SS examples they would like to share? Maybe it would shine some more light on this subject.Comment

It's always possible that Jeff did buy it from a veteran if he says he did, just because it's from a vet doesn't make it authentic unless the vet brought it back himself. In my experience veterans pick up stuff over the years that they themselves did not bring back.Comment

Here’s an FM example deemed good. Has the same type of stitching plus some chain stitching.

Here is a cast eagle pick up from a WWII Veteran i bought a few years back. Complete fake, but guy legit served in WWII. Had photos and everything, said he fought in Italy.
But was also a collector....Comment

Where was it deemed good? I see... "I like", "I think" "Why not?" Am I missing something?Originally posted by DeLuxxe View PostComment

Well hopefully some pennant gurus can chime in on this one. Buyer has been contacted and will review thread.

First pennant definitely looks like the one pictured. The black/white piping seems to go up under the leather sleeve. So I’d assume it would have a full piped border as well.Originally posted by Almost Samurai View Post
As for the war relics one.. Definitely don’t believe this to be a delta international.. Every delta pennant I’ve seen were always equipped with a rope and slapped with an atrocious rzm tag. As for lacking a “medal rod” I believe this type of pennant would of been placed in a celluloid protector case.Comment
