GREEK RESISTANCE FIGHTERS' FLAG
GREEK RESISTANCE FIGHTERS' FLAG
Greek national flag, 51" x 31", constructed of individual pieces of blue and white cotton, with two small brass rings very sturdily hand-sewn at upper and lower corners of the hoist. Some slight discoloration of the white linen, and a few rust holes and red stains. Provenance: Described and sold as a "Greek Resistance flag" ca. 1975 by Manion Auctions, Texas. The two small rings used here, versus more permanent and solid grommets or ropes sewn to the hoist, make the flag much easier to remove from a pole or tree quickly when used in a raid.
