Fahne der Alten Garde der NSDAP

"Fahne der Alten Garde dere NSDAP"
I know there are many fakes of these, but I have never seen one with a gold fringe in person? Also It is in my understandings that originals would be hand made not printed like this example? This flag is local so I thought I would share it, any ideas?

Thanks

An interesting piece but still not something I would consider to be period original. The majority of the fake flags around were made by Delta International in the early 1970's. I would consider this a newer version with the fringe3 added for a different look from the multitude of fakes.

Reminds me of those fringed Soviet Banners...Never seen anything quite like this with such bright fringe..

Here's the non-fringed version - notice the identical font:

Thanks for the input gents.

It would be interesting to see the similarities of a cccp flag and this flag when it comes to the fringe.
It wouldnt surprised me a bit if someone cannibalized a cccp flag just to upgrade their nsdap flag.

Just a hint from me.
If the flag is really a genuine one...it should be ALTE GARDE on the flag...not ALTEN GARDE.
That's a bad grammatical mistake

German case grammar …

Nominative: die Alte Garde
Genitive: der alten Garde

The wording in the Org book is therefore correct, but the printing on the flag still wrong.
