Thank you Ade, my main concern was the stamps.
Never seen these markings.

Nice period piece, and looks in great condition too. If you check the sizes against the list that Ade kindly added to a post a while ago (it'll be somewhere on the forum), you can find what type of vessel this may have come from.

Regards,

Excellent and original KM flag made by a scarcer Dutch maker and in a very desirable and displayable "U-Boat size".

Wow, good catch.
