Measuring 19 inches wide and 15 inches tall, both sides of the banner feature yellow fields trimmed in silver ribbon and 2 1/4 inch long silver wire fringe. One side in silver bullion lettering has the text "Fliegerhorstkommandantur/Schweinfurt" indicating the commander of the Luftwaffe base at Schweinfurt; a major center of Nazi ball-bearing production, Schweinfurt was also home for a training range for Ju-87 dive bombers starting in the 1930s. Allied intelligence designated the ball-bearing factories as a "bottleneck" in Nazi war material production, which made them priority targets for Allied air forces, and the city suffered between 50-80% losses of industrial buildings and private homes during the war in spite of heavy flak defenses and active engagement of the bomber fleets by Luftwaffe fighters. At the end of hostilities, Schweinfurt was occupied and cleaned up by the Americans who took up residence in the former Wehrmacht facilities around town; though not verified, the banner likely was taken by one of these occupiers as a war trophy. The reverse side of the banner is a rendering of a large silver bullion Luftwaffe eagle perched on a black swastika in a silver wreath with additional black swastikas in white rays with black and silver borders. Running through the top is a gold finished aluminum crossbar fitted with a short hanging cord.

Fine showing some light staining and handling marks overall. The cord is partially worn through in the center, likely from contact with the hanging ring on the trumpet, and a small amount of wear-through is present around the bar. The silver bullion is solid throughout. A scarce Luftwaffe item from one of the top strategic bombing targets of the Second World War.
