KM flag... What do you think?

[LizardKing]

Is this beauty real or fake? It is up for $300...

[Datrus]

I think much better pics is needed, and the Swastika looks like it's been spray painted... Unless it's some strange shadows i see.

[CARL]

Spray marks or colour runs?

[LizardKing]

I think they are color runs! I don't have better pics but if you click on them they enlarge! If you want right-click, save and enlarge them as much you want!

Found this link, maybe it is useful

Liste der Flaggen der deutschen Marine (1935

To me this looks like the second type, the 1938–1945 type.

But it looks like the color has been running. Any other markings on the flag?

[CARL]

Hmmm, strange thing is though...if they are colour runs...doesn't it seam a little strange how it only appears near the centre and the Swastika? I can't see any on the outer areas, i.e. the straight lined parts of the flag. Can't say I remember seeing colour runs on originals, although somebody may be able to clear that up.
