Guys,
I have passed on some flags like this that look really new, I usually try to get ones with some wear. The big flags like this that I have seen in Estonia usually sell for around $100-$250. I saw one like this sell recently for $280 in half a day, before I had a chance to contact the seller. Some of the bigger ones on ebay sell for alot less, but I don't think they have the nice hand stitching. I am sure the fakers could make a profit, and I am trying to collect only Estonian, the home of fakes.
So, does anyone have any tips on how to spot a fake one of these, aside from basic common sense?
