sorry.. impossible to tell from those photos

Ok what would I need for pics to get an accurate look to see if it's real? Apparently
wittmann militaria sold it a guaranteed it's authenticity , I haven't heard of this fellow before so I don't know how reputable he is

Pictures in natural sunlight are best, get a close up of the material, rope (if there is any) and stitching. As for his reputation, best to do a google search and see for yourself.

I'm stepping out on a thin limb here, but judging the appearance of the materials and construction your flag is original. Take that as an opinion from someone who doesn't collect flags, but I have handled lots of originals of the era. I do know that people who make reproductions will go to the last degree to make an item "period correct". This would definitely fool me if reproduction, and why I don't collect this type of item.

If he guarantees it`s authenticity, then it`s probably a fake. :moon:
 
Lol ok fellas I don't go on authentication guarantees either , more I was just inquiring about the wittmen fella
I passed on the flag ,
Just a question though what would a flag like that if it was authentic go for price wise ?
 
I had an original vet bring back, large version with some weathering sold it for $475 if that helps you
