I would certainly be interested in the result and findings of a forensic examination of the fabric he is peddling, which he claims to actually be taken from enemy aeroplanes, circa Great War.

General thoughts-lots of Imperial German flags turning up for sale these days. I would doubt they are all original. Arial darts might also be an item easy to reproduce. Regards, Paul. (Seller has these for sale but I could not say if they are good or not.)
