Hi I have a very large Union Jack flag appears to be in a type of hessian and hand stitched , it has union 801806 stamped on it , I was hoping someone maybe able to date it, it has no rope on it and appears in very good condition as if it hasn’t been flown

Hello Newbo,

Welcome to MCN we hope you enjoy this fantastic Military site.

I am not really up on flags only the French Resistance ones that I collect, but send an image of the ink stamps and someone on here may be able to help you.

Best to you....Desert Rat/ Ian

Just x3 images of the over 20 I have

Hello Newbo,

Thanks for the image of your union flag......It's difficult to give you an exact date as the ink stencils seem ? quite recent?...But I could be very well wroung and I hope others on MCN can assist you.

My flags from the French Resistance are all 100% original with provenance from the sellers.

Here are a few more......Sad to say I am moving so I have to sell them all after 20 years finding them!!!

Best to you....Desert Rat/ Ian

Also some original French Resistance Arm Bands....(Brassards)
