UBB.threads Forums General Militaria Flags, Field Gear, and Miscellaneous Militaria and Regalia Forum 2 bad or 2 good

Hi everyone, when i first started collecting Third Reich stuff i used to go to militaria auction sites trying to bag a bargain anyhow i ended up buying two flags in one auction both where 5 x 3 in size, one was a SS Flag and the other was a HJ flag
So i thought i got a bargain, was i right are they 2 good or 2 bad

I wouldn't want either of these in my collection unfortunately. Both HJ and SS flag have those markings again that are seen on so many fakes. I don't know much about SS flags but I would avoid any flag with markings like shown. And I think most of the SS flags you see are bogus anyway. At first glance the HJ flag looks okay but on the 4th picture the attachment of the header looks like it was on one side, unless the red portion behind it is actually the bottom of the flag and it just looks that way because the flag is folded. And again, I would not buy any flag with those markings. The flag material on the HJ itself looks okay to me and occasionally you do see original flags with fake markings but I avoid anything like that. This is just my opinion, no expert here so I hope others with more knowledge give their view.
