In synthetic silk. Medium size, 54" x 35". Features white field with wide blue margin at the bottom, large Soviet state emblem in the center. The canvas hoist sleeve shows quality control stamp and a 1979 date of manufacture.

In very good condition. The colors are strong. There are some tiny smudges, marks and snags throughout, but no significant stains or other glaring defects. A couple of tiny holes to the blue field near the far corner, not easily noticeable.

This flag was raised only when the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Navy was on board the ship. Judging by its size, it could be used by a small to medium size naval vessel, perhaps a destroyer or corvette.
