Hello Mick,

Welcome to MCN....we all hope you enjoy this Great Military Website.

Regards the flag....there are many being sold that are as fakes, the flag may well be original (but there is very little to show it has been displayed---regarding wear marks/ rain/ dye has bled into the flag) but the stamps look to me too new....as though someone has made up their own stamp and used it, can't say I am certain as I don't know how old the flag is?

I stand to be corrected by any MCN member....Just my opinion. I add an original image of a WW2 French Resistance (FFI) flag with original provenance and wear/ use marks-either on a building or display or used on a truck or jeep.

Thanks for showing us

Best to you....Desert Rat
