France, Third Republic (1870–1940). - Lot 290
France, Third Republic (1870–1940). Rare pre-1914 Moroccan tirailleur battle pennant. Rectangular in shape, it is double-sided and made of green wool. In the center is the Hand of Fatima, sewn in white wool, and in the corners are four crescents, also sewn in white wool. It comes with its brass staff topped with a ball and a crescent; the lower part is originally fitted with a metal rod that fits into the barrel of a rifle. The pennant is decorated at the top, near the staff, with a pinned 1914–16 War Cross; the ribbon bears a bronze star for a commendation in the regimental order. 45 x 46 cm. Shaft length: 83 cm. (Signs of wear and minor handling marks; one side sun-faded; in fairly good condition). Note: First-type regimental pennant, without a number or fringe.
