I would also bet it was run through the washer/dryer at some point. That would explain the cracking to the graphics and the uneven + severe shrinkage (with apologies to George Costanza).

See Posts 4132-4135 on the Pennant thread … they followed the posts about the Texans pennant.

Yeah, you guys are right. I blew it up and looked again, and yes, the "outline" is definitely a tell-tale sign that it's fake. Thanks for enlightening me!

Too bad... Someone will get taken on this one.

I sent Jon and email. We’ll see what happens.

The current seller does elude to it being different. But it can’t possibly be of the period, even if homemade (which it clearly is). No one would go through all that trouble back in 1944 or whenever.

To Jon’s credit, he pulled the pennant.
