Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice Cold War era Soviet Ensign (Flag) of Auxiliary Vessels of the Soviet Navy. This design was previously known as the "Ensign of auxiliary and harbor vessels of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's naval forces" from 1935 to 1950. It was then known as the "Flag of auxiliary vessels of the fleet (flotilla) support command" from 1950 until 1964. This was not uncommon. as over time nomenclature changes were the norm in the Soviet Navy.
This wonderful canvas or linen flag measures a small 25 x 38 inches, the perfect size for a Cold War Wall display. The flag design features a blue field, with a canton that is a small version of the full size "Naval ensign of the Soviet Union." This features a blue bar on the bottom, representing the ocean, with the Soviet "Red Star" to the left, and the "Hammer & Sickle" to the right.
The colors are retained very well, and overall it is in very good condition. There is a bit of age toning, but the original synthetic lanyard is still sewn inside the header, with loops at either end. The reverse side of the flags header bears issue markings, as well as a partial date of "19", but the last two numbers were mis-stamped, and not legible. From what we can see, it looks like this flag is from the 1970s.
A lovely Soviet Naval Flag, ready to display!
