I picked this up recently. It is cotton, multi piece and appears to be machine sewn with no marks. It measures 15 3/4 x 24 with a canvass end that seems to be made to attach to a pole or rod. What are your thoughts ?

Naturally, official flags must comply with flag regulations. Just as the Star Spangled Banner has a given number of stars and stripes, the navy flag needs to have proportions of the width being 1.5 times the height, the orb diameter half the height, orb off center by one sixth the width, etc, etc. I stressed this, because a lot of people associate multi-piece construction with official navy flags, but the navy would never accept this flag, because it is illegal. The many "flags" that appear on this forum are actually not flags at all, but "unauthorized flag-like decorations strictly of a civilian commercial nature" made by enterprising people. They may have the orb centered or offset, but as they were never meant for use by the navy nor the army, there is not much point in hairsplitting and calling these civilian decorations army or navy. I listed all the official navy flag sizes in another thread; anything smaller is always commercial. By the way, in the case of the normal meat ball national flag, the orb is bigger with diameter at three fifths of the height of the flag, a rule that Tojo flags also ignore.

Actually I think yours is simply too labor-intensive to make sense as a commercial flag, so something like a girl's school project is more likely. Like a gift for a comfort bag to send out to a family member in the field. Check it under a black light, but I do think that only a pre-45 situation would give birth to such a misguided and uneconomical effort.
