HJ trumpet banner

Hi

I am interested in this HJ trumpet banner, but I need your feeling about the authenticity...It doesn't look like the others we use to see.

Opinions are welcome

many thanks in advance

This is an odd one. There is one thing in particular I find strange about is that the canton panel is unit marked for Gefolgschaft 2 of Bann 741 Schlettstadt of the Süd/Baden Gebiet, which was formed around 1941. The green color cantons on H.J. flags normally denote the Oberbann, but the Oberbann structure was done away with in 1935-1936 well before this Bann number was used. Also this does not appear to be a trumpet banner as it has fringe on all sides but something else. It appears printed and not sewn together from separate pieces. For me I would pass on this one as there are things that I don't feel comfortable about with it. One possibility but it's a long stretch is that Gefolgschaft 2 of this Bann was a Landjahr unit, but it would have to be researched and nailing it down would be difficult. Too many oddities for me personally.

Is it possible to get a close up photo of the fabric?
