HERMANN GOERING REICHSMARSHALL'S AUTOMOBILE COMMAND FLAG
Hermann Goering's Reichsmarshall's automobile command flag, 11 1/2" x 11 1/2", a fine piece bearing on one side an embroidered Reichsmarshall's eagle over crossed batons with a wreath of laurel leaves, set on a light blue background as is usually the case with many of Goering's personal flags and decorations. The reverse features an embroidered wreathed 1939 Iron Cross trimmed in silver bullion, with four Luftwaffe eagles over crossed batons at each corner of the flag. Gold piping surrounds each side of the design, with a broader border of bullion piping present which is heavily oxidized and discolored. This type of automobile flag would have been secured to the vehicle in a celluloid case with three or four grommets - it is not present. A rare and desirable relic.
