Three items...Kriegsflagge, pennant, and large banner.

[Courtney Snow]

Second post for me so I am still new to the site

Here I have:

-a Kriegsflagge. I believe the bunting is not original to the flag...no markings. Measurements- approx 22" by 37". couple ink stains. Doublesided. Wondering if this is authentic (since I have unfortunately come across two fakes within the store I work this week) and what is the worth?

-Pennant. We have had this one for quite a while. I do believe this is an authentic piece. We are currently asking $95 and a gentlemen told me the other day we should be asking more for it...not a huge market for these type of items in this area though. Measurements approx 11 1/2" but 7 1/2". Double sided.

-Banner measures approximately 87" wide by 137" long. Tan around swastika has some discoloration and the flag itself has some staining in places...not sure why one end is a brighter red sewn on. Double sided.

I appreciate any help! Especially interested in proper names, uses, and worth.

Thanks guys!

They look OK to me, except the battle flag should have some form of marking on the bunting.
