Flag is about 36 inches by 49 inches. Six cloth loops to attach to flag pole. Flag is in near perfect condition except that small loop to hold flag to top of pole has been cut. The corner panel is about 5.5 inches high by 7.5 inch wide. Panel is white with black lettering and a black 7/16 inch border.

This flag has a white corner panel with the name Furth in it. The panel is white, and I think that is the color used for schools. I only spent a short time trying to track down information on this flag. I think there several (at least more than one) towns in Germany named Furth and a similar number named Fürth. These school flags are very rare.

Size is about 43.75” by 64.75”. On the upper corner of each side is sewn a 5.25 by 7.5 inch sky blue wool patch with heavy twisted silver/aluminum cord trim which has tarnished and oxidized to a golden hue. The center of the patches have the chain stitched numbers “1/382” which is for Gefolgshaft 1, Bann 382 which was located in Oldenburg. Oldenburg is southwest of Hamburg and west of Bremen, only about 4 miles from the North Sea. This flag has the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport Verband = German Flying Association) insignia sewn onto each patch. The Fleiger-HJ units were authorized to use this insignia I think for only about one and a half years, making this an extremely rare flag. Six of the original seven aluminum suspension rings are still attached. The flag shows light to moderate soiling, a few small stains and a couple of small holes and stitched repairs. The damage is not overly distracting.

This is a large 45" by 60" flag. It is in near perfect condition with some wear to the fringe and you can see where the top ring was nailed to a pole. The words on the ship side of the flag are "Die Freibeuter" which in English means "The Buccaneer" or "The Pirate." The life rune on the flag on the top of the ship was used by the HJ for medical units.

The DJ rune has about a 1/2 inch red border. The pirate ship side uses a lot of metallic thread or fabric. There is a life rune (which was used by the HJ for field or medical units) on the flag on the ship. All 7 aluminum rings are in place and RZM marked.

Amazing condition and an extremely rare and high quality flag.

HJ Flag, Gefolschaftsfahne with Green Corner Panel 4/I161. Green panel is for Landjahr. This flag is about 45 inches high and 66 inches long with 7 metal hooks instead of cloth loops or metal rings. It is probably 1934 vintage as in 1935 they introduced cord around the outside of the corner patches. Overall the flag shows significant wear. The top red stripe is in near perfect condition except for a small hole above the corner patch. The white middle stripe is discolored and stained. There are two small tears in the edge of the white part that would have been next to the pole. There is also a tear of about 3 inches in the white stripe along the edge of the square box containing the swastika. The bottom red stripe is in pretty nice shape except for two 1/4 inch holes near the white stripe toward the side away from the pole and about a 3 inch triangle of fabric is torn from the bottom corner on the edge away from the flag pole. All seven clips are in place and except for the two tears in the white stripe the flag pole edge is in pretty nice shape.
