9/10/20 - This is an original WW2 nazi battle flag. The flag measures 34.5 x 21.5 inches. The flag is ink stamped "Kiel 1943". We consider this a Kriegsmarine battle flag because Kiel was one of the major naval bases and shipbuilding centers of the German military. Original hanging string still in tact. There is some red staining on the white finished areas of the flag, but otherwise in excellent condition.
