    I can't believe i never got around to uploading this one yet. Bought it for around $80, a soviet naval flag, supposedly from a merchant vessel in the 80s.

    I never did take a picture of the back side, but there was a stamp with the year, as well as a small swatch of yellow and red fabric patched in the corner which i assume are meant for repairs.

    If i can remember, i think the flag was displayed on the ship during an initial launching ceremony following the completion of the ships construction it probably only saw actual shipboard use once or twice, it must've been stored somewhere nice because it didn't even have soviet storage smell, wasn't faded and wasn't crumpled. Wish i knew what ship it came from

    Never believe the stories they add on Ebay to sell items. Ebay is a minefield and when not experienced enough one can easily fall for the many traps. That said, the launching story is to me, well, just a story.

    I stand corrected, the flag is actually dated 1990, one year before the dissolution of the USSR.
