This is a very good condition WWII German NSDAP Political National \u003cem\u003eWimpel\u003c\/em\u003e (Pennant) Flag, which measures a very displayable 18 inches in fly by 11 1\/4 inches in hoist. These were usually flown inside, as it is not quite the weight of fabric needed to survive outdoors. It is of all cotton construction, and is double sided with single piece cotton white circles bearing printed black \u003cem\u003eswases\u003c\/em\u003e (hook crosses) sewn onto both sides. There the hoist end is sewn around a small lanyard, with loops at both end for securing the pennant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe header edge of the pennant features an original glued on paper \u003cstrong\u003eRZM\u003c\/strong\u003e tag which is a complete example, showing fading and light staining. The tag has a correct \u003cstrong\u003e“M”\u003c\/strong\u003e tax code and features a \u003cstrong\u003e((RZM))\u003c\/strong\u003e logo.
