Original SS flags and wall banners are so difficult to find that in the years I have been collecting Third Reich items I can maybe count three examples that I felt were real, none of them the same as the other and this one is in super condition and just talks.

The banner measures 44 H x 24 W it is wool material that is rough textured to the front almost like a blanket, and smooth to the rear. It is single sided with a set of nice long runes sewn against the black field, each corner bears a steel grommet. These would be affixed to a wall and period photos can be found of examples much like this hanging in various SS barracks or halls. 

I have seen countless inquiries for these, and a boatload of fakes posted for review on forums from guys who want one, here is a real one. I cannot say I am aware of a standardized banner for the SS and they all have their own way about them, I pulled this one out of the box and gave a good going over and no disappointments here. If you like the smell of  80 year old wool you will love this as it just reeks, you may however need some Tylenol and once was not enough for me and I had to go at it a second time with the same result. Nice piece with no damage or mothing to be found, just age really.
