I received this wall hanging and would like to introduce it here. It is 210 cm x 145 cm.
Only sewn on one side and therefore a wall hanging for me. What do you think about it?

Maybe someone has a picture where one can see such a hanging. I am sure I saw a picture some time ago that showed this eagle in a Hitler Youth home.
 
Hello
I was surprised to see two similar items appear recently, both bearing the names "Nurnberg" and "Berchtergaden"; it seemed too good to be true. The quality of the eagle's stitching is very poor.
 
To compare I´d like to add a picture from a HJ banner ( took it from the internet). Indeed I agree to bertl59 that the stitching is very poor - but to decorate a HJ home young boys and girls often took up needle, thread and scissors themselves. Perhaps Hitler Youth members used a flag as a template, copied an eagle with tracing paper, then cut it out of white fabric and sewed it onto a black background?

If I would have it straight from a family, then i would trust it, but at this moment i have to many doubts.. and yes.. a lot was home made, so.. possible..
 
Although I cannot see the other images here, Steve pointed me to this post. I have a photo in my collection featuring a banner exactly like this one. I consider the one shown by Steve to be 100% original.

For my part, I'm not saying they didn't exist (the photo proves it), but the quality is very poor. And the sudden appearance of two banners with "big names" like Berchtesgaden and Nuremberg makes me doubt their authenticity even more, which doesn't mean they're all fake.
