This one has thrown me off a bit... the markings and the triangular reinforcements are new to me. Any thoughts

about small RKF's ???

<CENTER>Hello:
Nice original RKF, in the much desired smallest issue size
(50x85cm) many of which were used on U-boats and E-boats.
Often canton iron cross is positioned further from fly edge on
2nd pattern RKF's, allowing the more square type corner
reinforcements, but in your RKF example the WW2 period
maker had to use a triangle in the upper corner to miss
covering the iron cross. Bottom corner triangle likewise
would have looked odd if then done square. I suspect
this RKF contract vendor was just starting their 50x85cm
production run as corner material is from much
larger size different material RKF's.

factory engineering
small flags imo would have been so seceptible to off cuts of material being wool or cotton thats why i think u get the miss match of colour in the reinforcing cornersComment
