This is an authentic World War II U.S. Navy No. 6 Ensign manufactured at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in 1944. The flag retains its original 48-star configuration with hand-stitched stars and is stencil marked "U.S. No. 6 M.I. 44," indicating U.S. Navy issue, No. 6 size, Mare Island production, and a 1944 manufacture date.
No. 6 was the U.S. Navy's standardized size designation for this type of ensign, measuring approximately 17 feet in length. Flags of this size were working naval flags intended for service aboard U.S. Navy vessels during World War II.
Based on the documented markings and historical research, this flag was produced at Mare Island Naval Shipyard for use by the U.S. Pacific Fleet during the war. Mare Island was one of the Navy's principal shipyards on the West Coast, supplying and servicing vessels operating throughout the Pacific Theater.
This is an original wartime flag showing appropriate age and wear consistent with military service and nearly eighty years of history. It has not been restored, preserving its authenticity and character.
