    About this item

    For sale is a Rare Vintage 1960s Large National flag of Islamic republic of Mauritania. This flag was used for Mauritania from the years 1959 until 2017. Unfortunately this flag has quite a bit of cloth moth damage which can be seen in the photos for more details. This would have been used as a government or financial buildings flag and was double sided.    Mauritania was part of the French colonial empire until November 28, 1958, when an autonomous republic was established in order to meet rising nationalist expectations while preserving the French Community. The new national flag of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, replacing the French Tricolor, was adopted on April 1, 1959. There was no change to the design when Mauritania became an independent country on November 28, 1960.   In 2017 a new flag design was proposed that added two red bands to the existing flag—one at the top and one at the bottom—with the red signifying the blood that was shed in the struggle for freedom from France. Voters approved the proposed flag design via referendum on August 5, 2017, and it was adopted by the National Assembly on October 12, 2017. The new flag was raised for the first time at Independence Day celebrations on November 28, 2017.   This will be sent via Royal Mail 1st class signed for and dispatched within two working days.
