The colours chosen were those of the former flag of the Netherlands, the “Prinzenvlag”, consisting of three equal stripes of orange (top), white and blue. In the centre of the white stripe appeared the following three smaller flags (from hoist to fly): The British Union Flag (or Jack), the Orange Free State flag and the Transvaal (or formerly the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek) flag. The flag of the Orange Free State was depicted vertically so that the present-day Dutch flag was in the canton on the hoist side, whilst the British flag was shown with its hoist adjacent to the left of this, which has led to many (erroneous) comments over the years that it is upside-down. The reason for this unique arrangement was so that all the flags enjoyed equal status as in terms of vexillological protocol, the flag on the left is considered to be the most important and having the position of seniority. The Union Jack represents the two former British possessions, the Cape Colony and Natal, whilst the two most dominant Boer Republics are represented by the Transvaal and Orange Free State flags. www.savaflags.org.za Specification Sheet SV-ZA-01.3-1 This budget-friendly flag is imported and not manufactured in the USA. The Orange Free State flag was positioned vertically so the Dutch flag appeared in the canton at the hoist, while the British flag sat to its left—an arrangement that has sparked debate about whether it's inverted. This unique positioning ensured all three flags held equal status; in vexillological tradition, the leftmost flag carries the highest honor and seniority. ## Product type: Flags > World Flags ## Vendor: RU ## Tags: 12x18 inch on a stick, 3x5, 4x6 inch on a stick, Buy 3 get 1 free, checklist- Demonstrations, checklist-100% synthetic waterproof material, checklist-100% synthetic waterproof Super-Polyester, checklist-4 Rows of Stitching on the fly, checklist-Attaches easily to any flag pole with grommets, checklist-Brass Grommets, checklist-Designs are through-printed and visible on both sides, checklist-Double stitched edges all around, checklist-Excellent for events indoor display and theatrical use, checklist-Fair weather outdoor display, checklist-Flies in the slightest breeze, checklist-Seasonal decoration or home use, Country & National Flags, Historical Flags, Namibia Flag, Old South Africa, Old South-West Africa Flag, South Africa Flag, Standard, upsell-enable ## Price range: 9.95 - 24.95 USD ## Link: https://www.uspatriotcolors.com/products/south-africa-old-flag-for-sale ## Compare-at price range: 19.95 - 24.95 USD ## Options - Size: 3x5, 12x18 inch with grommets, 12x18 inch on a stick, 12x18 inch double sided grommets, 4x6 inch on a plastic stick, 2x3 ## Variants - 3x5, SKU: RU-FL3X5P-969124, Available: yes, Inventory: 59, Delivery profile: - - 12x18 inch with grommets, SKU: RU-F12x18P-618961, Available: yes, Inventory: 12, Delivery profile: - - 12x18 inch on a stick, SKU: RU-F12x18P-618964, Available: yes, Inventory: 11, Delivery profile: - - 12x18 inch double sided grommets, SKU: RU-F12x18P-618978, Available: yes, Inventory: -3, Delivery profile: - - 4x6 inch on a plastic stick, SKU: RU-F4x6I-160613, Available: yes, Inventory: 0, Delivery profile: - - 2x3, SKU: RU-FL23P-969131, Available: yes, Inventory: 23, Delivery profile: - ## Metafields - num_reviews: 11 - avg_rating: 4.3 - reviews: - product_status: {"pending":6,"failed":0,"approved":0} - flag-attachment-style: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/144149577946"] - orientation: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/144149610714"] - theme: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/70486130906","gid://shopify/Metaobject/65075282138"] - flag-shape: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/58908147930"] - suitable-space: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/146020565210","gid://shopify/Metaobject/52991754458"] - material: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/159567708378"] - color-pattern: ["gid://shopify/Metaobject/52991819994","gid://shopify/Metaobject/61942366426","gid://shopify/Metaobject/59075526874"]
