A GERMAN WWII KRIEGSMARINE FLOTTILLENSTANDARD FLAG PENNANT
A rare original WWII period German Navy pennant. White linen construction, triangular pennant featuring a printed black Iron Cross with narrow inner white stripe border and narrow black outer stripe border to each side; dual-ply square reinforcement panels and folded over hemmed edges with reinforcement stitching. Tunnel looped white bunting with suspension rope intact to hoist end. Bunting well marked with black ink stamped "FlottillenStd. 1.0x1.4". Very good condition with expected age, period use and wear. The flotilla pennant was flown from the tip of the mast on a vessel and indicated the leader of a Torpedo Boat or Minesweeper was present but held the rank lower then Konteradmiral.
Dimensions: 39 3/8 x 55 in., (100 x 140 cm.)
Condition: Very good
