I was out of town when you posted here first. These two flags are totally FAKE! Secondly,, the Bristol area is a hotbed of fake flags starting with two guys that have been selling them for some time as authentic until they sold three flags to a guy in Texas who told them they were fakes and demanded his money back. They refused so he filed charges against them in Bristol. I got called over to testify to the police (this was Bristol, TN by the way) about 3 years ago and spent a few hours with them and gave my expert testimony.

I would be the lady you got these from is related to these men, who were prosecuted. I would demand your full money back from her, inform Ebay they she is selling totally fake flags so they can ban her and if she refuses file charges against her. You were taken plain and simple.

Rule Number 1 - NEVER by any flags from Ebay that purport to be authentic. 99.9 per cent of them have been total fakes! The only good flags Ebay offers are those that are part of their live auctions which emanate from actual auction houses.

Go get 'em!
