Why not post it in the flag, pennant section.
Have OFW give it a once over.

It'd probably be better if a Moderator were to move the thread to the flag forum.. That way we wont have to lose everyone's input.


Heres a better photo of the tag.

The one on the collectors guild site is a little different, on the short side it does not have the white and black along the edge.

Yes, there are a few variations..

Just stumbled upon this old auction.. That nasty armband seems to have similar stitching. Possibly siblings?

I gave the link of this topic, so members can follow the two topics.

So for the readers of this one, here are the interesting comments of Ben (oldflagswanted) made here :

I think that they unfortunately put the final nail in the coffin of this pennant.

Looks like rebeldevil89 was right when he said it was a fake. It is a shame to see fakes being sold on the WAF. It is a even bigger shame to see that this pennant was originally bought from a "legit" dealer that is very well known in the community.

Agreed.
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....

Flip this over and shoot it.

I'm the owner of the pennant and the buyers money has been refunded. I had previously emailed Jeff because I myself became skeptical after the purchase. But he assured me it was authentic and came from a veteran. Whether the veteran brought it back or not we'll probably never know.. I did have the opportunity to return it but I decided not to. Oh well, Just another day in this ol hobby
I would like to know if the RZM tag is real though. It seems to be convincing.



I found this thread as well.. Same stitch and design. Someone was popping these out.

This early flag and late collar tab are on the E-stand. I'm trying to understand whats considered modern fill stitched and period "machine woven"

[STLMatt]

The stitching on that “NSDAP” flag is worse than the SS pennant
Burn them both

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

Amazing that a published author who is considered an expert in such a large field cannot tell that this pennant is not original

Agreed. Honestly surprised Mr. Clark hasn't commented...
