West German Bundesmarine Naval Ensign

🇩🇪 West German Bundesmarine naval ensign, FG-059.
Swallowtail 76 × 136 cm federal service flag with Bundesschild. Wool-blend construction, multi-panel assembly and reinforced hoist with braided halyard.

The measured size of 76 × 136 cm aligns closely with the documented Bundesmarine naval format of 80 × 135 cm, supporting identification as a service-use maritime flag rather than a decorative or private-made example.

Construction is consistent with mid-period West German production: wool or wool-blend flag cloth, multi-panel sewn stripes, printed Bundesschild and a heavy canvas hoist sleeve with distinct “railroad” weave. The clearly forward-shifted shield placement and moderate swallowtail cut reflect functional maritime layout rather than strict central alignment seen on land flags.
