An original flag for vehicle identification. This type was often used early in WW2 in Africa and then across into Europe. It is designed with 4 riveted holes in the corners so it could attached to the bonnet (Hood) of a halftrack, tank, kubelwagon or truck to show the Luftwaffe (Air force) that the vehicle is German. This is the reason it is single sided.
It is in perfect condition in my opinion. It shows signs of use, stains, scuffs and slight rusting to the rivets. But is is still in great solid shape.
A great collectable that wants to be a part of a serious historic collection or museum.
