a light blue field with a gold NaziNational Eagle grasping a gold wreath with swastika, behind which crossed marshal's batons. The border as in the earlier version. Reverse: like that of the earlier version, except the large 1939 Iron Cross is replaced by a 1939 Iron cross about half the previous size surrounded by a gold laurel wreath. Replaced earlier version in February 1941. Illustrated in Flaggenbuch 1939, pl. Vb, Davis 1975, p. 104 and [Roger James] Bender, The Luftwaffe, p. 285.

Probably one of the most if not the most historical item we have ever owned being Field Marshall Erwin Rommels car pennant. This beautifully embroidered car pennant measuring 31 x 31cms, magnificently embroidered in gold and silver onto a field grey green backing cloth. The Field Marshalls batons being embroidered in Gold and Silver on red velvet batons with gold tress edging, this is a double sided pennant
Almost non-existent, these standards are the rarest of the rare! Measuring a full 70CM X70CM" with 2" fringe, it is a fabulours background piece for display. The eagles and center wreath are completely hand embroidered in gold bullion, with the borders and swastica outlined in silver bullion tress and gold bullion fringe finishing the sides. A magnificent piece!
