Germany, Kriegsmarine. A National War Flag, by Johann Liebig & Co.

(Reichskriegsflagge). A well-preserved Reichskriegsflagge (National War Flag), consisting of a dyed red cotton-blended cloth base securely reinforced along the edges with multiple rows of machine stitching, bearing double-sided black and white Nordic Crosses overlaid by an off-centre black mobile swastika, the hoist edge reinforced with a white cotton twill border with a hollow channel through which is looped an original rope culminating at each end in a loop for suspension, stamped with a Kriegsmarine issue mark, an abbreviated inscription of “KR. FL.”, size dimensions of “150 X 250” (centimeters), and a maker’s mark of “JOHANN LIEBIEG & COMP., REICHENBACH, SUDETENLAND” for the noted flag manufacturer, demonstrating moderate material fatigue which includes sporadic holes and tearing consistent with wartime use, a superb example in better than very fine condition.
