These two pieces came from a garage sale here in Illinois 10 years or so ago. I had stored them away and got them out today to photograph. Large flag measures approx 34" x 70" and the penant approx 22" x 46" The only markings are on the penant and that is REP. 3 6. They are connected with brass fittings and rope. Can anyone help me identify what these are. Many thanks.

Signal pennant is 3rd Subsitute and represents a repeat of the 3rd letter of a signal without the need for an additional set of flags.
It would not be flown below the White Ensign as it would be meaningless, they're just joined for convenience.
Have a closer look at the markings as REP 3 6 seems strange I would imagine it means something like "Repeat 3" but the 6 doesn't.
Pity we didn't have an old "Bunting Tosser" on the forum, he'd know in a flash.Last edited by Jim Maclean; 01-07-2013, 02:35 PM.
