Luftwaffe Flak Regiment 43 Banner (Trumpet Banner / Unit Standard)
Category:
A very fine original Luftwaffe trumpet/banner cloth from Flak Regiment 43, I. Abteilung. Constructed in high-quality red fabric with silver fringe and trim, featuring the Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika on one side, and the unit designation “Flakregiment 43, I. Abteilung” in bullion embroidery on the reverse. Complete with the original suspension hooks for mounting on a trumpet or standard.
Flak Regiment 43 was formed in 1938 and saw extensive service in France, the Balkans, Sicily, North Africa (including El Alamein), and later on the Eastern Front in Kurland until the end of the war. Banners of this type were used in parades, ceremonies, and as prestigious unit standards.
About 50,5 x 38 cm
A rare and highly desirable Luftwaffe banner, well preserved with only minor wear consistent with age.
