Paul C Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The design look imperial period to me. I have seen these before. It should be made of cotton and have a slightly rough feel to it. I would also put a black light to it and look for anything that glows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks a lot for the input, Paul. Unfortunately I have lost this one on ebay.If there is anyone out there, who wants to part with one of these or knows, where one is for sale, i would appreciate, if you send me a message.Thanks againGerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob lembke Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The design "looks Imperial", but I suspect that there are a lot of such flags being run up at the present time. I have seen many of these on e-Bay, etc., even without looking for them, selling for almost nothing. I would be wary of someone buying one for 5-10 Euros and putting it on the drive-way or, in a public urinal (a favorite aging technique of "antique" counterfeiters) for a month, or giving it to your dog or your two-year old child to play with for a while, and then putting it on e-Bay after it ages 90 years in a month.Bob Lembke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
