Vintage International Code of Signals pennants from merchant ships, recovered at Alang, India, where ocean-going ships are dismantled. Repeater (substitute) pennants repeat a flag that is already in the same hoist, so a single set of flags can spell a signal with repeated letters or numbers.

Each size listed is a single, individual pennant: choose a size to see its photo, measurements and price.

These have seen real use at sea, so expect fading, marks, frayed edges or old repairs. These are part of their history. The photos show the actual pieces.

A good piece for a home, bar or restaurant, or to frame alongside other signal flags.
