Recently a good friend of mine bought a lot of flags from a long time collector, two of them was Japanese and there was this NVA flag which I really liked the look off. It has tons of character and lots and lots of wear from being carried in the field by the looks of it. 
everything in my opinion looks to be a period NVA battlefield pick up ? But as it’s not my area of research would members more versed in NVA flags please give their opinions. 
 

Thankyou 

 

Anyone ?

I like how worn it is. And would hang it on my wall, but I'm definitely no expert. Some of the  fakes coming from Vietnam are pretty good.  Need Bob Chat's thoughts. 

I like the silk flags. Cotton flags are too easy to fake. Dave

To the untrained perhaps !

It's 100% a legit wartime flag.

I was almost certain it was, I’ve collected a lot of flags over the years and it’s helped me alot having them

in hand and looking over them. You certainly get a sense when holding something like this

Bob likes this one 👍🏻 I asked for his expert eye 

I think it is a great Viet Cong flag. The NVA flag would be all red with the yellow star. The VC is red/blue. Dave
