Scarce German flag, 8 x 7.25 in., a yellow field featuring a ‘totenkopf’ (‘skull and crossbones’), with the original rope still attached to the metal hangers. These flags were used to indicate areas of gas contaminated ground, mines and booby traps, and are commonly seen in a smaller triangular version. Presented in an 11 x 14 in. black frame, with a metal plate beneath reading ‘Nur Verboten Authorized Personnel’. Lightly soiled, overall very good.
