    Material and construction looks consistant with mine and other printed versions I have seen, it has a nice wear and been there look to it, vets brought ALOT of these back as souveniers, I cant feel or smell it but I would give it the thumbs up, is it double sided?

    Welcome to the most educational forum there is. I see nothing from your images to cast doubt on this piece being anything but period original.

    No its not double sided. But that was apart of the story the Vet and his buddy flipped a coin for the good half of the flag.

    So does this look homemade? It has a particular smell to it kinda stale smelling.

    It does not appear to be home made.

    Question

    I agree, it looks good to me.
    If it's one sided then it is some sort of banner - Not a flag.
    Any markings one the binding one either end?
