I found this one today just coming home from work and to be honest who doesn't want one of those anyway, I can't tell if original or not, It looks great to me but I'm not an expert yet as many of you here.
Here are the pics

For reference, a comparison between a fake and original Kriegsflagge. The original is on the left. The reproduction is on the right.

Alone, they're hard to tell apart. Side by side, you can see the very distinct differences in proportions, specifically the thickness of the bars and in particular the shape and outline of the iron cross in the top left panel. The cross on a fake is usually much 'pointier', with less space between the arms. Whenever I see a Kriegsflagge, I look at the cross first.
