Original Nautical Signal Flag – Letter “V” Victor

This Original Nautical Signal Flag is an authentic maritime piece measuring approximately 55″ x 44″. It features the bold red “X” pattern used internationally to represent the letter “V.”

Ships used this flag within the International Code of Signals. Specifically, the Victor flag signals “I require assistance.” Therefore, crews relied on it during urgent ship-to-ship communication.

The flag remains unwashed, which preserves its original working condition. However, it shows clear signs of service, including dirt and visible red paint or marker on the fabric. These marks reflect real use at sea. The material still holds together well, and the color remains strong.

A rope header includes one grommet, which allows for hanging or display.

Today, this flag works well for wall décor, collections, or nautical interiors. It brings authentic maritime function into a modern setting.
