An impressive Kriegsmarine Reichskrieigsflagge size 6 (100 x 170cms) i

An impressive 2nd. pattern Kriegsmarine Reichskrieigsflagge size 6 (100 x 170cms) in very good condition and with two moth holes which show well in the pictures. The colours remain strong.

Of particular interest are the sprung fixing clips each attached to the loops of the header at the hoist end by a leather strap, the first I have seen remaining in place. The header is well marked with the size and the flag title along with a Kriegsmarine property stamp.
