Swastika flag - fake or original?

**Frundsberg** · 07-28-2010, 10:10 PM

I just got this pendant from a friend and need Your help to say is it original or not. Unfortunatelly seller washed it before selling so it looks like too clean. I'm not an expert of TR cloth insignia and flags so maybe someone can help me. Pendant is over 2 m high and was probably used as decoration.

This is a 70s item they try to make it look like fringe trim but all fringe is sewn on. The cross should be sewn togather where the cross elbow joins and at a angle.

Just let us look for some pictures. Old pictures tell us the truth. All these pictures are taken on Veterans Day 1939 in Kassel "Großdeutscher Reichskriegertag". In picture 1 and 2 you will see the flags Frundsberg ask for. Please notice the different size of swastika bars and distance to white border. Picture No.3 is another swastika-flag just for our enjoyment.
