Iraqi Ba'athist flag with Allahu Akbar script (ca. 1991–2003)

🇮🇶 Field-used Ba'athist flag with Saddam-era “Allahu Akbar” print – likely hoisted at checkpoints or party sites during the early 1990s.
.

FG-033 is a rare surviving Ba'athist-era Iraqi flag, estimated to originate between 1991 and 2003. Printed on gauze-like fabric with a sewn hoist tunnel, it features the green “Allahu Akbar” inscription introduced under Saddam Hussein’s post-Gulf War rebranding. The script is not the standardized stylized version, but a handwritten-style variant likely produced under constrained, local conditions.

Signs of wear, dirt, and stitching fatigue confirm this flag was used actively — likely at regime checkpoints, Ba'ath offices, or for propaganda displays. Its construction is consistent with in-theatre production using local materials, and no commercial export traits are visible.
