Hi guys. I’ve got an opportunity to buy this flag. It looks like an 11 Republic flag (does that make it WWII or earlier?) but I’m wondering why the Republic banners are blank. The stitching is really nice and it is of similar material to my 1930s Young Pioneers banner, but I’m sure there are more knowledgeable people than me on this forum. Any thoughts on its originality would be appreciated and an idea what a reasonable price to pay would be.

I have posted pictures of this helmet on the forum before. I’m pretty confident that it is the real deal as my dad bought about 40 years ago from an older gentleman who brought it back as a souveneir.
Anyway, in reading something on one of the reference sites I noticed that the helmets with the gold in the badges were supposedly Wasserschulzpolieze. Can anyone help me with that? I know that some of the badges had a gold tint due to age, but this one looks to have been gold from the start.
Another interesting thing is the liner’s attachment. Instead of being riveted, it is bolted with thin nuts inside. Has anybody seen this before?
I attached another close-up picture of the badge.Attachment 310714

Another item I bought off our classifieds is this badge, can anyone give me the correct German name for it please? I like my collection records to be accurate It was listed as a hat badge, is this correct, or could it also have been a sleeve badge? Also, any idea of the vintage? Thanks again gents!
