Kriegsmarine U-Boat Pennant

[Steve Turner]

Hi,

Here's an interesting Kriegsmarine U-Boat pennant I'm not too familiar with. This one came out of a Canada, pretty normal to find KM items here. It appears to be the same type as this other example sold by E-Medals several years ago that they state came with provenance:

Here's the photos of my example:











I have a few questions;

Does any have photos of these in use or can provide more info on this pennant? It seems to be manufactured of high quality materials with nice stitching, I do plan to sell this so want to make sure I can describe it best I can to any prospective buyers, it doesn't seem there's too many of these out there.

Thanks!

Ditto, and IMO snap-hooks makes it a staff car auto
fender pennant, thus why it is chain stitch machine
embroidered. Ship flown types were often screen printed
with heavy rope headers and usually had a marked size
& type stamped thereon along with an inspected for at
sea high wind service acceptance KM eagle-M stamp ...
