Superb, medium-sized WH (Kriegsmarine) so-called: 'Reichskriegsflagge' being a: 80 x 135 cms.- sized- and/or maker- (ie. 'N.V.P.F. v. Vlissingen en Co's Katoenfabr. - Helmond (Holland)') marked example that comes in a wonderful condition
This is a truly very attractive - and with certainty! - desirable Dutch-produced TR-item: a nowadays not that often seen and neatly medium-sized, WH (Kriegsmarine) WWII-period so-called: 'Reichskriegsflagge o. Fahne' being a: 80 x 135 cms.- sized- and/or neatly (Dutch!) maker- (ie. 'N.V.P.F. v. Vlissingen en Co's Katoenfabr. - Helmond (Holland)'-) marked example that comes in a wonderful- (and I deem only minimally used-), condition. The piece is neatly ink-stamped on its border with the text: 'Kr.Fl. 80 x 135' and shows on the same side the inked makers'-designation: 'N.V.P.F. v. Vlissingen en Co's Katoenfabr. - Helmond (Holland)' (as can be seen on the pictures). The flag retains both its cord loops (something that is not always the case). These attractive - and desirable! - 'Reichskriegsflaggen' showing an IC-symbol in the upper-corner rank amongst the most searched-after TR-flag-types and were 'standard-issue' on various KM-vessels. These medium-sized flags are the most desirable of the series and are actually nowadays not that easily encountered. This example shows very bright- and vidid colours and only shows hardly any age, wear nor staining: it shows a few tiny holes (as can be noticed on the pictures) but is for the rest totally void of any damage or alike. Simply a very attractive, Dutch-produced 'Reichskriegsfahne' that will be very hard to be upgraded!
