1973 RAF Squadron Leader's Flag/Pennant

An original and scarce 1973 dated service used R.A.F Squadron Leader's flag, of multi-piece construction with un-common leather double-sided eagles.
Along the white coloured spine are various ink stamps (some faint) including the 4B RAF stores prefix, '4' denoting Aerodrome equipment, 'B' being flags and visual signalling equipment.
The cotton material is in very good condition with no holes apart from a couple of drawing pin holes in top corners (one pin still present), retains good colour for a service used flag, slightly grubby especially along spine.
The rope loop or toggle has been removed possibly in great haste or simply to mount behind glass, a rather intriguing flag, wish I knew its service history.
Measures 31 x 21 1/2 inches (approx. 80cm x 55cm)

Code: 51007
