It's a fairly common Fake, Friend...Goering's Flag is available as well - along with a slew of others...IMA has been peddling them for years, among other sellers...It lacks the High Quality we would expect of an Original for the Reichsfuehrer SS...In my opinion....
cheers, Glenn
Oak Leaf has a real one, take a look;

Yes indeed.
I know very little about these or similar items and to be honest I am unlikely ever to devote too much time to them. They are far too much in the "unusual" category for me to risk it! Whilst these are not quite as rare as Hitler's underpants (queue the DNA discussion again) they are rare enough to be considered a risky item and for me to be even vaguely interested in acquisition the provenance would have to be unequivocally "bombproof" no matter how good the piece looked. This piece however, to one who is used to examining all kinds of "period" items does not even make the starting grid! Just compare it to the one linked above (I know we don't like links but in this case...).
Looks like some poor mug is going to end up with a rather pricey piece of bunting here.
I really hope the error is not as crippling as it would be to some
Caveat emptor!!

Delta International printed $15 fake flag circa early to mid 1970's. The original Himmler flags were made from multiple stitched pieces with a silver eagle, not this crap.

One thing the TR was good at was embroidery, the SS cared about the quality of their regalia more then most. The development of the RZM system shows this very clearly, so if you think this 70's junk is real, you shouldn't be collecting TR items.
