Possibly, to a collector, a great deal. But read on: There was a thriving bootleg industry to American G.I.s in this area. Many, many solders who served in the Pacific Theatre brought these home as souvenirs. Most commonly, they had various Japanese phrases written all over them - more "authentic". The bootleggers would find anything with Japanese writing on it, and put it on the fake souvenir flags. Years later, a lot of those old soldiers found out that the Japanese writing on their "battle flags" said things like "This End Up", or "Main Shutoff Valve". If you have one with writing on it, find someone who reads Japanese to find out what it actually says! If it has no writing on it, you're on your own. It may be authentic, it may be a mass market fake - and I don't know how you'd tell if it's authentic or not. But if it has writing on it, get it checked out!
