A flag of Prussian Grenadier Regt 5

[KAGGR#1]

here is my Grenadier Regt 5 flag that was removed from the pole.
One of the flaming grenades has been removed from the right side of the flag
The regiment was formed 1689 and was 200 years standing in 1889
I have 2 of the Sakular parade banners for the flags
and one unit ring from the pole for G R 5 / I Batl
The flag has been "netted " to prevent future damage
The flag was taken to Russia.

Just a great standard for your collection. I'm glad it's back in "Western" hands.

Steve,
Excellent. I've noticed this netting technique before in a museum!

Steve,
Excellent. I've noticed this netting technique before in a museum!

Some was done by the German Army back in the days
but they did large knots
my 2 Garde Regt zu Fuss / I Batl was done that way
