Original U.S. Korean War Era Printed South Korean Flag - 17 x 20'

Item DescriptionOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is a great small-sized South Korean flag likely brought home to the United States by a GI. The flag measures 17 x 20' inches and does not have a header or tie strings.The flag of South Korea, also known as the Taegukgi (Korean: 태극기 or 'Taegeuk flag'), has three parts: a white rectangular background, a red and blue Taegeuk in its center, and four black trigrams one toward each corner. Flags similar to the current Taegeukgi were used as the national flag of Korea by the Joseon dynasty, the Korean Empire, and the Korean government-in-exile during Japanese rule. South Korea adopted the Taegukgi as its national flag when it gained independence from Japan on 15 August 1948.This example of the Taegukgi is quite attractive. The insignia is printed on and is in great service-flown shape with usual creases from being folded.A fantastic example ready for further research and display.Shipping RestrictionsThis product is available for international shipping.Payment OptionsEligible for all payments - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Paypal & Sezzle
