A vintage International Code of Signals pennant from a merchant ship, recovered at Alang, India, where ocean-going ships are dismantled. Numeral pennants spell out numbers in a flag hoist; this one stands for 8.
It is about 110 cm long (listed as 110 × 5 cm, 43.3 × 2 in).
This flag has seen real use at sea, so expect fading, marks, frayed edges or old repairs. These are part of its history. The photos show this exact piece.
A good piece for a home, bar or restaurant, or to frame alongside other signal flags.
