WW2 British Red Ensign Flag – Small Naval/Merchant 55×85

A very attractive and genuinely wartime British Red Ensign flag, dating from the Second World War. This smaller format (55 × 85 cm) was typically used on auxiliary craft, small merchant vessels, coastal boats, or as a personal bring-back souvenir by Allied servicemen. The flag is constructed from lightweight wartime cotton with the Union Jack in the canton and a vibrant field of red. Colours remain strong with only minor age-related toning and expected handling wear. No post-war markings or synthetic materials—fully consistent with 1940s manufacture. A great example of an original WW2 Red Ensign, ideal for display with naval or maritime collections, RAF coastal command groupings, or as an authentic period piece for reenactment and historical exhibitions.Dimensions: 55 × 85 cmCondition: Very good for age; light creasing, minor stains, no major damage.Period: WWII (1939–1945)Guarantee: 100% authentic wartime item.
