Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally original authentic Imperial German WWI Naval War Ensign Battle Flag, with a large Balkenkreuz (Beam Cross) in the field, with a circle around the Imperial German Eagle at the intersection of the cross. The canton of the flag contains the imperial state colors and the Prussian Eisernes Kreuz (Iron Cross). The flag is made of cotton or linen, the standard material for flags of the period.
The flag measures 59" tall and 93" across, which means it is probably a 150cm x 230cm flag, one of the standard sizes used. The flag header is thick canvas, and has two brass grommets at the end for attachment to a halyard. Based on the size of the flag, it was most likely for a sizable ship, though it is not big enough for a capital ship. Those were so large that they are quite hard to display indoors.
This flag is in very good condition, though there is age toning, as well as some small rips and tears in some places. It is one of the most attractive issued during WWI, and would make a very nice display piece.
