Re: SS Pennant Identification
There's something about the skull and the eagle that looks too crisp. As an example, the swastika on your flag looks slightly blurred, but the lines on the skull and eagle look extremely sharp. That's not to say that the swastika portion of the flag is fake, but you tend to see some blurring/smudging/etc. over time.

Look to be a fantasy item.

Re: SS Pennant Identification
Ade,
Thank you for the quick comment; I really appreciate it. How can you tell that the item is fantasy? What about the stitching and RZM tag? Would someone go through such intricate work to make a fake? There is a lot of stitching at the pointy end of the flag that would appear to be too time-consuming and useless for a quick fake.
Thanks.

Re: SS Pennant Identification
The design is a complete fabrication. It never existed historically. These were made 30 odd years ago in the USA. People will go to any lengths to make a £/$/Euro. The SS/RZM label is also completely wrong: it should be silver/grey lettering on a black background.
Cheers, Ade.

Hello mabrgo,
Thank you for your thoughts. I am an amateur Third Reich collector and am not very familiar with the authenticity of items. Luckily, this was a gift; thus, if it is spurious, it will not hurt my feelings. I find the pennant to be quite interesting. The stitching all seems to be consistent from side to side. Could the RZM label help with authenticity at all?
Are any of you familiar with Mohawk Arms auctions? I have recently purchased some items from them and would love to hear your thoughts?
Thanks.

Re: SS Pennant Identification
Thanks a lot. I do not know much about these items, but plan to start learning more. Have you ever heard of Mohawk Arms Auction House in NY? If so, what do you think about their items?
Thanks again.

I have heard of them, but never purchased from them.
Cheers, Ade.
