German WW2 Kriegsmarine "Gösch" Flag
Kriegsmarine “Gösch flagge” (Marine Jack Flag), this was the official national and mercantile flag of Germany.
The header of the flag has two rope loops on the end, for tying the flag to the "Jack Staff". This is a small vertical spar (pole) on the bow of a ship or smaller vessel on which this particular type of flag, known as a jack, is flown. The jack staff was introduced in the 18th century. The jack is typically flown from military vessels, including submarines, while at anchor or moored pierside, but not while underway.
The other end has the typical reinforcement that you see on the Kriegsmarine war/battle flag.
Much harder to find than your typical Kriegsmarine battle flag, and or your NSDAP flag.
Roughly 140 x 70 cm.
Made of linen.
Flag is in good used condition. The colors are good. There are some small holes and traces of wear but it displays very well.
A hard to find and seldom seen flag.
