Title Reichskriegsfahne (Third Reich war flag)
Nationality German
Period c 1939-45
Sold

This is the type of flag that was flown over small headquarter units in the field and used on small patrol boats and U-boats when on service. The lanyard, sadly, has been cut, evidence perhaps of the piece being looted off a building or boat, perhaps. There is what appears to be a small maker's mark, 'A/42', in the middle of the white edge.

It measures 60 x 90cm (approximately 2 x 3 ft), and is in superb condition for its age, with nice bright colour and minimal fading, perhaps because it has been kept in a linen cupboard for at least the last 20 years! It is made of high quality cotton.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

I just got my Tiroler shooting badge in the mail today and it looks great, thank you.

Thanks very much for the bayonet. I am very happy, I think your photos of your items are great because nothing is hidden and you can clearly see them. (Unlike some other dealers.) Everything was as you describe, I will be keeping a eye on your site for any further bayonets for my collection.
