How can you tell if a flag you have is from the battleship Graf Spre?
Cloth flags are easy to fake. Graf Spee was a battlecruiser with 11 inch guns, and NOT A BATTLESHIP. Even the old Russian battleships from the Tsushima battle in 1905 had bigger guns than Graf Spee, they had 12 inch guns, and "they" were 30 years old when Graf Spee was built!
