flag

As for carmine, do you mean the partisan flag or the German one?

My camera bleaches the color a bit with the flash, but in reality the Germn battle flags that had been used were not the bright red as shown in the art image I posted. They tended to fade to a lighter red as shown in the partisan flag. The only ones that were this bright red were the modern made examples sold at gun shows and to tourists.

The shade! It should be brighter red, not this type of carmine.

Now I get it. I just assumed it was a photo effect.

Doug,

I refer to the Partisan one. The color is not right for a faded out German flag IMHO.

flag

marc,

Well, you are entitled to your opinion but it is a faded German war flag; i have had them in (dad had one when i was a kid; used to play with it in the back yard!) and it even has the right pole mounting edge. The material is also identical. That being said, the camera flash does bleach it a bit giving it a pinkish 'hue'.
