I bought this many, many moons ago in Germany, but thought I would bring out of storage and photo one time. I bought it from a German picker for not too much. When I got it, the base had newspaper stuck to the bottom of it. When I got home, I carefully pulled it off and saw the markings you see.

Now, it could be completely spurious, but no attempt was made to sell it to me with SS markings as they were covered when I bought it.

The flag itself is completely period, the eagle atop has a broken wing that has been repaired. It has small halyard ropes that you can barely see in the large photo. The back side of the flag has a "1939" date stamped on it, in the same font as on the base.

What are your thoughts?
