Period ones - cotton , post war "poly" seems to be the fabric of choice for copies. Most popular item to be reporduced is the naval R.krieg flag - smaller sizes - proportions / positioning of the Iron Cross / the swastika are often wrong , fabric and stitching suspect and the rope used in the hoists man made . There is not a lot of money in the party type banners , a reproduction Rk could do you £300 worth of "damage".
