Unknown vietnam flag. 1968 date.
Hey.
I got this flag for relatively cheap, and ive never seen this type of flag from allegedly Vietnam before. What kind of flag is this? I was originally going to put it up in my study next to other flags but I figured it would be wise to get an idea from those more knowledgeable than I. Hand for scale.
There are visible neps, and weave irregularities. No coating stiffness or synthetic sheen fhat I can see. The lettering looks like manual hand guided stitching with letter irregularities and density with the spacing. The embroidery thread is embedded into the flag and not sitting stiff where you could feel it embedded .
Thanks for any possible information.
This is unit flag for "Nổi dậy tết Mậu-thân"
Liberation Army of South Vietnam
Quảng-tín province branch
Unit: Regiment 6
For liberation Quảng tín.
Ah very interesting. Thank you.
It's a regimental standard of the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front (better known as the Việt Cộng).
The bottom inscription translates as “Quang Tin Province Armed Forces Unit: 6th Regiment– Attacking and Liberating Quang Tin”
I wish I was as versed in languages as you and another poster translated this flag so easily. Thank you for letting me know.
Yes, isn't Google Translate wonderful?
