The two American flags are both commercial. 1) Cotton, printed canton with 6 rows of 8 stars, 34" on hoist, 62" on fly. 2) Wool bunting, 55" on hoist with Sterling makers label, about 90" on fly, double applique machine sewn cotton stars. 3) Dress visor hat is labeled Vice Admiral internally which would date 1947 but construction is in style of WWII with wicker body. Interestingly there is an earlier visor with fewer acorns & oak leaves which may have been from WWII accompanying this lot. His pair of Vice Admiral 3-star shoulder boards are also included along with two lightweight midshipman's caps in white and a blue one with Annapolis label, probably upon his graduation at Annapolis in 1911. 4) Rear Admirals pennant with two stars, 40" on hoist,60" on fly. This would be flown from any vessel when the Admiral was on board such as Tuscaloosa during coordination of D-Day naval bombardment, of German positions on Omaha Beach ahead of Troops Landing. This may be the only identified Admiral's flag with D-Day history.
