| Like a party in your pants  |
My wifes Uncle passed some time ago, among his belongings was a Nazi flag.We have no idea how he came in possession of it, he would be the last person you would think would seek one out. My guess is was a hand down from a relative. My wife was cleaning and throwing out stuff today and the flag came out of a box she was going through. It appears to be in very good, original,condition. About 29"x47" with a swastika about 18" (red back ground white swastika)some stains, one small tear near where it must have been attached to a flag pole and with an unfinished end at that location. It looks like it was never outdoors. We are curious about its value. Any WWII collectors out there that would hazard a guess as to what its worth? How can it be authenticated? | ||

Depending on the organization and the type of flag they can be worth 100's to 1,000's of dollars. I collect TR items and can give you a ballpark figure. Send me some good photos of any markings on the flag and a good description of it and I'd be happy to help. I'm not interested in it so I won't low ball you and then offer to buy it.

How old was the uncle? Could it be circa WWII? Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers | |||

Take good photos of it and check out some WWII collector forums. I’ll bet you can get some good responses. Keep it or sell it, just like any other antique. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

My Uncle Leo was a tank commander with Patton's 3rd Army and brought back a nice Nazi flag and some other items including a nice 8mm Mauser rifle. My brothers and I begged him for them as he had no children due to a war injury. It is still in the store room of my Mom's house. He had some great stories and a lot of medals including the Purple Heart. ****************************************************W5SCM "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" - Abraham Lincoln "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - Abraham Lincoln | |||

I have one my father brought back for Germany at the end of WWII. He was in the 82nd. I am not going to burn it nor would I be keen on anyone else doing that when I pass on. ____________________________ "It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled."

Why?!? Have you not seen enough of liberal idiots wanting to change our nation's history? Remember that old saying about those who ignore history? Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

 is my response to all these “burn it” posts. Have you folks also protested to take down Confederate statues, too?The OP didn’t ask the proper flag etiquette to fly it outside his front door. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.
