Start price: £5

Estimated price: £5 - £30

Buyer's Premium:

A British Royal Navy White Ensign, featuring a white field divided into four quarters by a red St George’s Cross, with the Union Flag situated in the upper hoist quadrant. The flag is of sewn construction, comprising individual fabric panels stitched together to form the design. The material appears to be a standard bunting, common in mid-to-late 20th-century manufacture. This example lacks visible maker’s marks, date stamps, or size markings, which are traditionally located on the canvas hoist sleeve, which is not fully displayed. The flags of this type were traditionally flown by ships of the Royal Navy and at shore establishments.


Condition report:

The flag shows significant creasing and wrinkling from long-term storage or folding. The stitching appears largely intact from the visible surfaces. There is no evidence of significant fraying, holes, or major staining in the provided view. The overall appearance is consistent with a used service-issued or commemorative item.
