First, let me emphasize that this is a historical item and that I am not, in any way, advocating or promoting intolerence, hatred, racism or violence. I purchased this flag to help out someone who was in desperate need of money. I have no desire or use for it so it is up for sale. I have been dealing in antiques & collectibles for years and firmly believe this item to be an authentic Nazi German national flag. The flag measures 44" wide x 29" tall and the fabric is rayon (which was first developed in the late 1800's). The maker, Apfelstedt & Hornung, has been in business in Hamburg since the mid 1800's. The company was significantly damaged in one of the first air raids on Hamburg in 1943. There are some dark stains on the red fabric. A medium-sized one can be seen in one or two of the images; two or three smaller stains did not show up in the images. There are several small holes which are shown in the images. On the side not photographed, there are some light brown stains on the white fabric.
