authentic kreigsmarine flag?

**Julekpl** · 02-22-2013, 06:04 AM

hello, julekpl again. I have been offered what seems to be an authentic ww2 Kraigsmarine flag. Supposedly captured in 1944. The guy has offered to cut me a deal, and sell it for just $500. Is it authentic? And if so, is it worth the money? Thanks!

Original, but what makes it a KM?

I believe the Kr. Fl. stands for "Kriegs Flag" or "War Flag". I think this one is just a National Flag.

well the guy says it's KM, I am interested in it, but I don't know to much about these...

You are correct.
And pass at that price.

Yes, it is authentic, but Only if these flags are marked with an "M" under an eagle or KM, are they generally considered a Naval flag. As has been said, these flags were used all over Germany and it's territories by many different agencies. It is a very desirable Size flag, however, $500 is pushing the maximum value of it to the limit, in my opinion.

I agree with my colleagues, not KM. here's my KM flag and it is clearly marked. Mine is much bigger at 150cm X 250cm. I got mine for $300. The one you posted is a more desirable size for display than mine.
