FLAGS, PENNANTS AND OTHER CLOTH ITEMS



FLAGS-001-26731 - NSDAP PARTY FLAG

This Nazi Party flag is a very fine example in choice condition throughout. It features outstanding bright red colors to the cotton areas. The flag measures approximately 45 inches by 48 inches. In the center area is a fine, round white field which is machine sewn to the red cotton. The black swastika is the printed type. This flag is a one-sided example and since it does not have a hoist area and is the same on all ends, it can be assumed that the flag was used for covering items or possibly vehicle identification. It is in beautiful condition throughout and is just the right size to display in your collecting room.(#041408)
Mint Minus. $295.00

FLAGS-002-26884 - LARGE NSDAP FLAG

This large Nazi Party flag is a real beauty, still remaining in perfect condition. The colors are nice and bright throughout, with flawless red cotton material. The center area is a separately sewn round white field with printed black swastika. This is a double sided flag and is a big one! This flag measures approximately 6½ feet in width by 11 feet long. It is a heavy type which would have been flown outside from a pole. One end of the flag is equipped with a hoist area and the two rope loops are still intact. Attached to the rope loops are special eyelets and snap clips which are definitely original to this flag. This is the type of flag that could have flown from a medium size Party building. It would look great in any collection of NSDAP items. A desirable flag.Near Mint. $795.00

FLAGS-004-26941 - NAVAL PROOFED KRIEG’S FLAG

This Naval proofed Krieg’s flag is one of the best examples that I have handled. It is in brilliant, original state and has outstanding colors and features. The flag shows only the most nominal of age. This flag is a good size for hanging in a collecting room, as it measures approximately 5 feet by 8 feet. It has the standard Kreig’s motif, which features the Iron Cross in the caton section of the flag, and, in the center is a mobile swastika. Both of these features have black lines which run around them and outward on the flag. These flags are, of course, double-sided and they are the printed type. This flag also has 7 extra lines of stitching at the fly area to make sure that there is little wear. The hoist area is the standard canvas type and it still has a fairly white color to the material. The original hoist roping is still within the canvas and each end has a set of original nickel plated snaps. One side of the hoist area has black inked identification markings. At the left side is a open-winged stick bird eagle with wreathed swastika positioned over the capital letter “M”. This marking indicates that this is a flag made for the German Navy. After this, is the type and size of the flag “Reichskriegsflg. 150 x 250". After this, is an inked box having the name of the producer “Berliner Fahnenfabrik/Geifel & Co”. This flag was recently purchased from the son of a South Carolina veteran and is in top condition. Naval Krieg’s flags are very much in demand and absolutely represent a great investment.
Mint Minus. $895.00

FLAGS-005-26918 - G.I. SIGNED CAPTURED NSDAP FLAG


This flag is a standard NSDAP type which measures approximately 4 feet by 6 feet. It shows some age, but overall is in good condition throughout. The field is separately sewn and the swastika is the black printed type. There are a couple of minuscule age holes here and there, but they are nothing. The flag is equipped with a fold-over style end where a mast would have been inserted. The good part about this flag, though, is that it has the names of all of the G.I.s who were involved with its liberation. Unfortunately, there is no name of the company or group from which these G.I.s were assigned but, there are so many names and all of the names are entered beneath the state from which the parties hailed, making it possible to look up records through the United States archives. When the same people are found in the same group, it should be pretty easy to then go on to find the history of this captured flag. To give you an idea of what we have here on this historic flag, under the state Pennsylvania, there are 12 names. Under New York, there are 18 names. Under New Jersey, there are 3 names. Under West Virginia, there are 2 names. Under Maryland, there are 2 names. Under Illinois, there are 6 names. Under Minnesota, there are 10 names. Under Wisconsin, there are 4 names. Under Massachusetts, one name. Under Indiana, one name and under Wyoming, one name. The names are all printed with an ink pen and obviously were done by one man assigned from the group that captured the flag. This would make a fantastic research project for the right person out there. This flag could be very historical and might be a centerpiece for a choice American or German collection. It is in highly collectible condition and has never been in a collection. This is your time to shine with your research capabilities. Good luck with the next person who owns this flag. Excellent Plus Plus. $750.00

FLAGS-006-26347 - LARGE NSDAP OUTSIDE FLAG

This NSDAP flag has a good blood-red color and the cotton fabric is the sturdier type that was used for outside use. This flag is double-sided and is three-piece construction. The white field is separately sewn, as is the separately sewn black swastika. This flag has no holes in it anywhere. The white field on both sides has a little minor staining and does show some age graying, but other than this, the flag is in perfect condition. It measures approximately 4 feet wide by 11 feet long. An outstanding outside flag here. Excellent Plus. $350.00(#050708)

FLAGS-007-26450 - NSDAP/SA PARTY FLAG

This Party flag is a real beauty, which is double-sided and is a little bit unusual. The hoist side of the flag is equipped with four strands of canvas for tying to a rod or pole. The beautiful colors are still nice and rich, and the cotton material is perfect throughout. The red looks the same as it must have when the flag was made. The white field is separately sewn to the red cotton and the mobile swastika in the center is black printed. This flag measures approximately 3 foot by 5 foot and is perfect to display in a collector room. While folding the flag up, I noticed that there is a black stamped maker mark in the corner of the hoist area. It looks to be a company from Munich as well as Napoli. The stamping is a typical round German ink style stamp. This is an outstanding NSDAP flag. Near Mint. $595.00

FLAGS-008-26154 - LARGE NSDAP BANNER WITH GROMMETS

This NSDAP banner is a real beauty, having its original full red colors and separately sewn white field in the center with black swastika. But, oh how huge all of this is! The perfect-conditioned red cotton extends over 15 feet in length and is 6 feet in width. The white separately sewn field measures a diameter of 43 inches! The four corners all have grommets, and in the center area on both edges, there are also grommets. It is possible that this very large flag was used to identify large equipment or it could have been hung on a building during a parade. The flag itself is actually two pieces of separately sewn red cotton. The seam runs right through the center. We examined every inch of this one-sided flag and there is not a hole anywhere. It is in choice new-like condition and all that would be required of the new owner would be a little ironing. A most-impressive NSDAP banner. Mint. $695.00(#020608)

FLAGS-010-25701 – Reichs Sports Standarte with Pole Top

This Reichs Sports Standarte is most impressive. It measures approximately 54 inches by 44 inches. On the one side, is fitted with metal rings, where the Standarte would have been attached to its respective pole. There are seven of these rings. Each one has its own cloth loop to which it is attached. There is also a snap clip at the very top corner of the Standarte. This Standarte is double-sided, and in the center, has a separately done, white field running the entire length of the flag. This white field becomes rounded in the center, where it depicts a separately applied Sports Eagle. This Sports Eagle has great detail being in a black material, having a white sewn eye and separately sewn, white mobile swastika over the center body of the bird. The details of the claws, legs and beak are outlined in black. This is a great depiction of this closed-wing eagle. It appears on both sides. The white field area also is slightly padded, giving a fine deluxe feel and look to the Standarte. At the upper corner, on both sides, is a black square depicting the section of Germany from which this Standarte would have come. This patch measures approximately, 11 inches by 7 inches. It is a black, silk material having a silver corded edge running throughout. The patch has silver bullion letters sewn in four rows. “Gau VII/Schützenverein/1880/Wohlenberg.” This patch indicates that the Standarte comes from the shooting club from the City of Wohlenberg, which was formed in 1800, and was part of Gau number VII. This Standarte would have been carried, or proudly displayed during city parades and also during National events such as Party Day each year in September. The original Pole Top comes with this Standarte. This pole top is approximately 11 inches in length and is of all nickel construction. It is quite heavy and is a high-quality item. The pole top features a spear-style upper portion, which is pierced in the center and has a Reichs Sports Eagle in its place. The eagle is the closed-wing style having a black mobile swastika on its belly. This depiction is on both sides of the pole top. There is a pedestal that retains the spearhead. The pedestal is a rounded affair that tapers down to a cylindrical shape, being the part that went over the pole top. There is also a hole in the edge of the cylinder, which would have been there for the placement of a screw. This Standarte shows nominal age and just a couple of tiny small age holes, that are basically nothing and hardly show. The original hard colors are nice and bright. This flag would make a great presentation in a hobby room and would really be terrific if a pole could be built to accommodate both the Standarte and the pole top. A very fine, rare, item here. Exc. ++ $1995.00

FLAGS-011-27036 Small Silk NSDAP Flag

These small silk NSDAP flags really are about the size of a handkerchief. In fact, they would have been handed out to local citizenry to wave at the Führer, when he was parading by. These handkerchief-size flags are approximately 8 ½ inches by 10 inches. They feature a red outside color, with a white round field in the center, with black mobile printed swastika. The handkerchief is in excellent condition throughout and retains its original bright colors. Near Mint 27036 $25.00(#041408)

FLAGS-014-27093C Small Kriegs Flag

This small Kriegs Flag measures only 16 inches by 25 inches. It is made the same way as the larger types, with the exception, it does not have a hoist area. Perhaps it was meant for displaying on a table, or other usage. It is the traditional double-sided type, and it has a black Iron Cross in the canton area. The field is white, having a lined mobile swastika in black, in the center. The circles feature two black lines, which run outward at the four quadrants, from the field. This flag is in excellent condition, showing only the most minor of age. It would make a great display example, in a small collecting room. It is very rare to see small Kriegs Flags like this. Excellent, Plus 27093-C $350.00

 

FLAGS-016-26519 - NSDAP FLAG

This NSDAP flag is a beauty, still having its original bright colors. It also is a good size to put in your rec room, measuring 47 inches by 31 inches. The cotton colors are as bright as the day they were produced. Sewn to the center is a large white field with printed black swastika. It is a double-sided flag. The hoist area is fitted with a flap area for the insertion of a hanging rod. Beautiful example. Mint. $395.00


FLAGS-017-26346 - NSDAP FLAG

This flag is of all cotton construction and retains its fine, original bright cotton colors. It is a double-sided flag that measures approximately 3 feet by 5 feet. It is the perfect size to hang up in your collecting room. This flag has separately sewn large, round white fields on each side. These fields have black printed swastikas. There are no holes in this flag, and one side is totally perfect. The other side has a little bit of minor blue colored stains next to the swastika, but they are nothing serious. The hoist area of this flag is in a red canvas material sewn to the cotton. Inside of the hoist is the original roping which has a small loop sticking out of each end. It is also interesting to note that one corner of the flag has the black ink stamping “170" and “Reichseigentur”. This word would indicate the flag was the property of the state. A great item here, which would really display well. Excellent Plus Plus. $325.00(#050708)

FLAGS-019 - NSDAP FENDER PENNANT WITH CELLULOID COVER


This fender pennant retains its full bright red cotton colors and is double sided. The center area has a sewn white field and a printed black swastika on both sides. The triangular-shaped celluloid cover has turned yellow with age but is still in perfect condition. It is rare to see these covers still intact. Coming out of the top and bottom of the hoist end of the celluloid are two eyelets, which would have gone over a fender-mounted staff. This fender pennant measures about 12 inches by 8 inches and would have gone onto the staff car of a high-ranking Nazi official. A great display piece or perfect for someone who specializes in fender pennants.
Near Mint (19803) $495.00

FLAGS-020 -27149 Small Kriegs Flag

This small Kriegs Flag is the very desirable motorboat size. This flag measures only 33 inches by 17 inches, and is complete with white canvas hoist with the two rope loops. The flag itself is an all-printed double-sided type, and it has all kinds of stitching and reinforcement on all of the edges. The hoist area is black printed, “Kr.Fl. 50x85x”. On the opposite side of the hoist, there is a rectangular box where there is black printing naming the original producer. This is illegible, and I cannot read it. This flag itself shows a little mild use, but it remains in perfect condition. This flag no doubt was used on a motorboat somewhere in the 3rd Reich German waterways. A great item here, rarely seen.
Near Mint 27149 $750.00

 

FLAGS-021 -27150 Small Reich State Service Flag

This Reich State Service Flag is a very small example meant for outdoors, and probably was on a small motor patrol boat. The flag is a beauty throughout, measuring only 33 inches by 17 inches. The flag features the open winged eagle, with swastika in the canton, and a Kriegs-style swastika on a round field with lined borders. This flag is in perfect condition throughout, being double-sided, and still having its original white colors. The hoist is black ink-blocked on both sides. The obverse stamping is, “RD flg. 50x85 cm”. On the opposite side is the ink-stamped name of the manufacturer, “Kaechlin, Baumgartner u. Cie. A. G. Lörrach”. This hoist area is complete with the original two rope loops. A great flag here, and very rare to see, especially in this small size. Extremely desirable. Near Mint 27150 $795.00

 


FLAGS - 023 - SET OF THREE FENDER MOUNT CELLULOID FLAGS -

These fender mount, high ranking officer flags appear to all come from the same vehicle. They are all in a pennant triangular shape. The flags consist of an all-black SS officer flag with white runes in center, an NSDAP Party Leader flag being an all red example with white field and black swastika in center, and a Wehrmacht officer example with horizontal stripes of black, white and red which were the German national colors. Each example is attached with four rivets to a nickel mast. The lower portion of the mast is threaded to screw into a fender mount and the upper end also has threading, but is missing the end cap. I imagine it could have been a Mercedes emblem or perhaps a little eagle, but I do not know. It is also interesting these flags all are together and seem to have come from the same vehicle. Perhaps some staff cars were used in motor pools and the driver's merely changed the fender flag to accommodate the branch of service. At any rate this is an extremely rare grouping, seldom offered. All flags are in good condition and retain their original bright coloring.
Excellent Plus (19387) $4,495.00


FLAGS - 064 - NSDAP HARBOUR FLAG

This all-cotton flag is different than most in that it has a standard NSDAP motif inside, and there is a 7-inch white border that goes completely around the red field. This flag measures overall approximately 3 foot by 4 foot. The white border is characteristic of a Harbour flag. The NSDAP portion of the flag is completely printed and it still has its good bright red colors. The white border is starting to yellow a little from age and it does have a hole just where the flag meets the sewn canvas hoist area, but this is nothing and would be easy to repair. The rest of the flag looks in great condition having reinforced areas in the corners, also to the areas that connect to the canvas hoist. The hoist area has the original rope and both ends of the rope have the original hooks. Printed on the hoist area in black is, "Flg. Delta Gr. II". Further down is an illegible logo and the number, "70". This is a great looking flag which is rather rare. I recently purchased it from the widow of a local veteran.
Excellent Plus (23831) $695.00

 

FLAGS - 073 - BDM YOUTH PENNANT

This BDM youth pennant is quite rare. It is a double-sided example and a fairly large size measuring about three feet in length and approximately 2 foot 4 inches at the hoist end. The pennant is double-sided and done in a black cotton cloth background. The cloth has an off-white cord border which runs around all three sides. One side of the pennant has a fine separate construction Hitler Youth diamond insignia. It has the red colors at the top and bottom and the white colors on the sides. In the center is a white field having a black swastika. This insignia itself encompasses six piece construction alone. Next to this running the length of the pennant is the initials of the organization separately sewn in white cloth, "B.D.M." The other side of the pennant has red upper and lower cotton areas with a white center. At the hoist area is a large diamond shaped white field having a black sewn swastika. Going down the white center area is the name of the town or the local organization, "Kobl-Lützel". These letters are all separately sewn as is the diamond shaped white field area which accommodates the swastika. A lot of work went into producing this pennant and it most likely was done by local woman. This pennant shows some age and the white areas are yellowing. There are a few stains here and there but no holes and three of the four black cloth loops which were used to suspend the device are still there. A very impressive banner which would go great with a BDM or Hitler Youth collection. Rare pennant.
Excellent Plus (23216) $795.00

 

FLAGS - 082 - NSDAP TRUMPET BANNER

<This very beautiful double-sided trumpet banner measures approximately 24-inches by 16-inches. It is the standard NSDAP style having good red cloth with round white field sewn to the center with black mobile swastika separately sewn to the white field, the same being on both sides. Three sides of this trumpet banner are trimmed with a 1-inch gold fringe. This fringe is quite beautiful and slightly unusual. It has more of a crochet look to it and it is not bullion. The two upper edges of the trumpet banner are equipped with snap hooks which would hold the banner to the trumpet. A perfect conditioned item here which would be great to display.
Near Mint (23203) $995.00

FLAGS - 083 - DAF STANDARTE

This standarte apparently would have been flown during party functions or meetings. It is a beautiful red cotton fabric which measures 6 foot by 4 foot. Three edges of the standarte are trimmed in 2 ½-inch silver fringe. This fringe is in perfect condition and is new like. At the blank end of the standarte there would have been a small pole pushed through. Separately sewn to the center are of both sides is the DAF standarte consisting of a round field with black swastika on a gear wheel type background. Each piece is separately sewn and must have taken somebody a long time to make. The colors are still nice and bright throughout and there is no staining anywhere. A very beautiful item here in near full mint condition. The DAF was the German Labor Union to which all German workers belonged if they wanted to have a job.
Mint Minus (23202) $1150.00

FLAGS - 103 - 24492 – Early 3rd Reich Naval Flag

This early 3rd Reich Naval flag consists of the horizontally striped colors of Germany, used by the Navy, prior to the adoption of the swastika banner in 1938. This flag consists of, separately sewn, horizontal cotton pieces of black, white, and red. The flag is approximately 8 foot by 4 foot, and it is complete with a canvas hoist area, and the original rope loops. This flag was flown outside, and does show some minor weathering, but overall, it is still in exceptional condition. We do not see many of these Naval flags, as they were replaced during the period, and subsequently, not very many were brought home by returning GI’s. This is an outstanding original example, showing some period wear, but would also make a great display piece, with other Naval items. $495.00
