German WWII Kriegsmarine Battle Flag

This is a service-used Kriegsmarine battle flag, measuring 1.5 x 2.5 metres. This size is particularly sought after by collectors as it is well-suited for wall display. The canvas selvage edge is clearly marked with the designation Reichskriegsflg 1.5 x 2.5, indicating its official naval specifications.

The flag exhibits some light discolouration and minor staining consistent with its age and period storage. There are a few minute holes in the fabric, though the overall structural integrity remains sound. The flag is complete with its original rope suspension system still attached to the hoist end.

This piece represents the standard naval ensign flown by vessels of the German Navy during the Second World War. It is a primary artifact of naval history, showing the typical wear associated with a piece that has seen service at sea or in a coastal installation.
