Jones Pioneer Canadian Signal Flag M

This maritime signal flag represents the letter M (Mike) in the International Code of Signals, signifying a vessel is stopped and making no way through the water. The design features a white Greek cross centered on a dark navy blue field. It is constructed from multiple panels of heavy-duty bunting fabric, likely a wool blend, stitched together. The hoist end is reinforced with a heavy white canvas sleeve containing a natural fiber rope lanyard. The top of the rope is fitted with a metal Inglefield clip fastening device. A rectangular label printed in green ink on the canvas hoist reads PIONEER BRAND, MADE BY REGD, JONES TENT & AWNING LTD, VANCOUVER, B.C. Directly below this label is a black ink stamp reading NAVAL. The presence of the Jones Tent & Awning Ltd label and the Naval stamp indicates this flag was manufactured in Vancouver and used in official service, likely by the Royal Canadian Navy during the mid-20th century. 50x64
