These were brought back from the Korean War by a member of the 187th Inf. Div. (see http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/220729-rakkasan-veteran-grouping/ )

 

He wrote on both flags, listing the year and location where he got them.

 

This North Korean flag was found at Kimpo Airport in Seoul in 1951.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

 

I've seen and had lots of captured Japanese and German flags but this is the first time for something from the Korean War. it's especially cool that he wrote on them, providing great provenance.

Yes... agreed with the others here. Very nice flags - it's a shame Korean War stuff doesn't have the same draw as WW2 or Vietnam. Thanks for sharing them.

That is neat! Hard to find Flag! N. Korean bring back. Dogtown above. I tell young collectors that is the War to collect. Over looked and usually less expensive. I pick up nice G.I. Dated K.W. stuff when its nice & priced right.

Great flags and store them well. North Korean flags are as rare as they get and can deteriorate easily. Sometimes I think they deteriorate worse than Japanese flags. I roll mine in acid free tissue paper and store them in acid free flag box.
