Fake flags
Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with faked flags and banners? I try to avoid the ones that look too new, but I am not sure of what specifically to look for when buying a flag or banner. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Keith |

Here is some detail from this banner. Does anyone have any opinion real vs. fake?

flags
while i have seen fake WWII and pre-war unit flags for the red army and NKVD, i have yet to see fake postwar award banners...they were made in such huge numbers that I really doubt they would need to fake them. They don't really sell for that much, so there is not much incentive.

Doug,
I am certainly no expert in this field, but I have been offered "repro" Soviet labour flags, and even pennants. I think they have appeared on the market about a year ago. Alexei |

flags
i am so amazed by that...i don't really deal in postwar flags, and i am suprised to hear they are faking them...real ones are cheap and in large supply; shy fake? fake a WWII flag, ok, but 1970's labor flags? I guess they fake it all. I'd like to see a fake one of these velvet award banners though; how can real ones be told?

Doug,
In this business nothing surprises me anymore, especially after I have seen fake Soviet stars for the shoulder boards. How much do these cost? I am guessing $15-30 a piece, so if you make a lot of them they do become profitable. Alexei |
