Trying to verify whether or not this flag is original. One person claimed it to be a reproduction based on the fact that it is not a standard length (90x145 cm). I however know little about these flags, so I thought I'd ask here.
Original Kriegsmarine flag?

It is a copy of course.
Note the lack of re-inforcement panels to the corners and no re-inforcement stitching around the edges.
