    Default Help with Hitler Youth flag

    Hello

    I was wondering if I could get some opinions on this flag that I’ve seen for sale. The size says it is about 59.5 X 30 and owner says it looks unused. It looks okay to me but always prefer to get opinions from those who really know. If you look at the picture with the rzm tag you can see some wording beneath it. It says something about impregnation Good wash resistance. Has anyone seen something like this written on a flag before and if so, how would it have been removed when used? There are no ropes for hanging & not sure sure if there is a tunnel for a pole. My main concern is if it is original. As you can see there are some other tags on it also. I would have liked a closer straight on pic of the whole flag & not sideways on the bed but this is what I have for now. I appreciate any help and information anyone can provide.

    Bill,

    I don't think I have ever seen one in such pristine condition. The RZM tag as well as what I assume are the manufacturers tags are very nice indeed..

    I would have no issues adding this to my collection

    Smitty, thank you also for your comment. It does indeed look pristine & might be as the seller states unused. Also wondering about the writing that is on the flag regarding laundering & stuff. Has anyone seen this on a flag before & if so how would this lettering be removed before use?
    thanks again for your comment

    Bill,

    I have never seen this type of washing instructions on a flag which in my opinion further confirms that this is a mint unused, never flown example. I would imagine that the gold washing instructions would have been some type of water resistant paint or ink. Combined with the RZM tag (which I also find rare on a flag) as well as the other paper tags again indicate that this was never displayed outside in the elements as I am sure that the paper tags would have been removed before being used outside. This flag could have very well been intended for indoor use only.

    I really like this flag..

    Best regards

    Smitty

    I agree and as it has no hoist line or other attachment to connect it to a halyard I believe this is not so much a flag as a banner that would be hung indoors from a wall or architectural feature such as a bannister/upper floor landing etc.
