Extremely rare German WW2U-boat Submarine Kill Flag U-99, 16.402 tons German WWII U-boat U-99 Kill Flag, 16.402 tons sunk. Measures 12” tall (plus the ties) by 16” wide. When the U-Boats returned to port, they'd fly their kill flag to show their successful mission and the top/bottom ends of the flag have roped eyelets (lanyards) so they could do just that, proudly fly it from the mast.Hand painted on white cotton. Machine sewn. Single sided. This is a fantastic piece of naval history. Low excellent condition. I founded 12 U-boat flags in box with WW2 Kriegsmarine stuff on estate sale. Other items you can see on other listings. The flag passed very important test - it does not glow under the black lamp(all fabrics after 1945 glow under the black light).On the last image you can see U-boats with the same flags. U-BOAT: Type VIIB, Commissioned: Apr 18 1940 Fate: Sunk Date: Mar 17 1941. Estimate price for this item is $600 - $650. Guarantee: As you know for German awards it is very difficult to make Certificate of Authenticity. Today only D. Niemann from Germany can give the Certificate of Authenticity. But he does not take any packages from outside of Germany (problem with customs). Also I am not a licensed dealer and can not give you Certificate of Authenticity. For this purpose I give to all of my clients 3 days for inspecting the item - the item can be returned for any reason for a full refund (minus shipping costs, paypal or bank transfer fee...).
