First of all, hello to everyone here, I am situated in Zolder, Belgium, and I study old maps,
cartography and aerial pictures from WW2 and also regional history cartography from even before WW1...
I have a birth register from my hometown from the period of the French revolution etc...
I am on the brink of aquaring a flag, from an Antique Store, which was supposedly bought from a Italian collector.
Here, on the forum I studied the examples given and the clues, tips and hints, on how to spot if a Fahne is real...
For example, the corner stitchings, bleeding, the clothing, the detail of the eagle, etc...
Still, I am not sure, and realize, that in this "minefield" as it is called here, there is never a guarantee...
The pictures that I got:

Details of the clothing:
Are there people who can hint me, point me out, or at least in a direction, about what or how this flag
is, and if at all, it is genuine...
It lacks the detail in the Adler's orb, than again, soms genuine do...
The crown is somewhat "differently shaped" than others, but than again, I think
that for the Adler (opposed to the place, colours, dimentions and ratio's for the rest of the flag)
there where no real "rules, or standards, I THINK...
I do not collect flags myself but to me it seems to lack the age of what I would have expected of something like this to have. It would be good to see some markings as these do age and really give a better impression of authenticity. I’m sure others will chime in shortly, but in the meantime here are some links from previous forum discussions about imperial flags.
Thank you for the feedback, I have already read all topics on others who asked for autenticity on their flag... True thing is that it looks fairly proepr and new... Also the part where they hang the flag is cut of it seems,
and let just that be the part where markings should be, not? I have a real WW2 Reichskriegsfahne, and it has extra support stitchings in the corners... Also the white is slightly yellowed... I also am hesitant on this flag...
Reichskriegsfahne Real or Fake question
