I have finally obtained a Bannfahne . It took me 25 years but could not pass this one up .
This flag is huge approx 55 inches X 70 inches . The number 188 within the scroll is designated for the area of Hamburg Germany . There are 13 HJ Bannfahne and 9 DJ Bannfahne known to have survived WW2 . Total manfactured if you take in consideration the early pattern scrolls with the later pattern scrolls , the total Bannfahns made would be about 2,580 , with a total of 22 combined HJ and DJ Bannfahnes known in existence , this makes the Bannfahne one of the rarest of all the different styles of Third Reich flags to find ... yet one of the most striking in design . ( Of note , to keep the bottom section from fraying or tearing more than it already has , I will be overlapping the frayed/torn section with a piece of original salvaged red fabric section cut from a regular moth eaten banner and delicately sewing over it with original thread . This measure should preserve it from future damage ) .
