November 25, 20205 yr #1 So far I have found only three references to these online: 66 x 39 inch banners stamped with a seal for MUNICIPIO DI NAPOLI – ECONOMATO” (Town Hall of Naples – Treasurer). There are four ties in nice condition. The banner had a large hole cut in the center and the circle with the swastika was sewn into that.

"Even more coveted Italian Army unit flags also tie to their trooping pole, rather than being nailed to same as the Nazi unit flags were done. Use of flag ties may indicated that the pole was more important than the flag cloth itself, an ancient Roman military tradition "
