I would say that 300 bucks is too much for that in that condition. There is something about that flag that I don´t like, I don´t like the colours (the very intense black vs rest of the flag which appears well used). The photos seem to be a bit grainy, right? It may be genuine, but I would pass.
I may of course be wrong, am no flag expert

I don't believe this is Kriegsmarine unless you didn't show pictures of all the markings.

I agree that some better pictures are required. This flag was used by all branches of the Wehrmacht and not the Kriegsmarine exclusively. All naval flags are stamped with an eagle and"M". I do not like to discuss values but I agree that the price is quite high for a flag with this damage.

i will post better pics now
Judging by it's construction, it looks to be genuine. I do not like
the fact that it has such large holes in it - which seems
rather odd when the rest of it is mint.........

Steve.
It's genuine, but Not a Navy flag. Most KM flags will have some sort of "Eagle and M" stampings, etc on them. As has been stated, the battle flags were flown by many and various groups in German. The condition, however, is the sinker here. The 2 holes are Large and detracting. As for what caused them, is anyone's guess. They do Not look like mothing, so they could be anything from deliberate bullet holes to an idiot poorly storing and ripping 2 hunks off of it by accident. If it had Been intact, the $300 price would have been fair, but as it sits, I would, unfortunately, have to say less than $100. Best if you can return it if possible.
