Kingdom of Denmark National Flag

Danish Flag, US Army Issue

This is the national flag of the Kingdom of Denmark, catalogued and issued through the US Army supply system. The US military stocks the flags of allied nations for ceremonies, joint exercises, headquarters displays and liaison offices, and this is one of them. It suits collectors of issued military items, reenactors, and anyone who wants a Danish flag with real government provenance behind it.

Features

• Dannebrog Design — A red field carries the white Scandinavian cross, with the upright set closer to the hoist, the edge that attaches to the pole.
• Sewn Pieced Construction — The white cross is stitched into the red field as separate panels instead of being printed onto the surface.
• Reinforced Heading — A white strip runs the length of the hoist edge to take the strain where the flag is fastened.
• Metal Grommets — Brass-colored grommets at the top and bottom of the heading accept halyard clips, snap hooks or cord ties.
• Stitched Hems — The outer edges are hemmed and sewn, which helps keep the fly end from fraying in wind.
• National Stock Number — It carries NSN 8345-00-245-2753, the identifier the US military supply system uses to catalog and order the item.
• US Army Supply Item — The flag was procured for government use, so it is authentic issued stock and not a commercial souvenir.

Issue And Provenance

The 8345 prefix in the stock number is the federal supply class for flags and pennants, the category that covers national, unit and ceremonial colors held by the services. The Army keeps allied flags like this one on hand so a host nation or coalition partner can be honored correctly at official events. The sewn construction and grommeted heading reflect a flag made to be flown and handled, whether you hang it on a pole, a wall or a display line.
