Design is wrong, rope, stitching. Graphics on the IC look "cartoonish"...so does the swaz from the first pic

All of the above are spot on A friend of mine bought 1 of these actually from 1 of this forums sponsors sites I told him it was a fake he said but I've seen these in the sales room auctions , told him it was fake he paid over £300 for it and when it arrived it was a fake , I have actually seen loads of these flags selling in auction houses for over £100 some of these auction house Militaria experts need to give themselves a shake , not you Adrian lol

The most noticeable thing, at least to me, is the amount of space between the body of the swastika and the outer lines. On this flag, they are much too far away. That's what makes the whole thing look 'off'. Look at an original, and you'll see what I mean.

The rope is all wrong the way it is stitched to the halyard all wrong the stamping so clearly not wartime markings etc etc

And look at the center of the IC. Too pointy, no substance to the core of the IC
