RSF comments ???

...what do you think about this reich flag ?...

Hello steiner68:
IMO a nice RSF, maker #24 in WAF "wmtf" t=427262.
With poorly applied KM eagle-M sea service spec marking,
for use on harbor police & customs boats, tugs, and such.

(below) RSF in use on a harbor tug, assisting KM ship traffic.

DG:
KM Flaggenbuch lists the following RDF/RSF's use on ships...
----------------
1. 40x65cm, size #2, used on vessels of less than 500 tons
2. 50x85cm, size #3, same vessels as size #2 above.
3. 80x135cm, size #5, again same vessels as #2/#3 above.
4. 100x170cm, size #6, used on vessels 500 to 1500 tons.
5. 200x335cm, size #8, used on vessels 1500 to 10000 tons.
6. 300x500cm, size #10, used on vessels above 10000 tons.
----------------
RDF size #10 was made & used on ships and on land too.
