Vintage Saudi Arabia National Flag, 3 x 5, 100% Cotton ~1950-60 (Read Des) For Sale

Historical Significance & Estimated Age:

Based on our research, we estimate this flag was manufactured between 1950 and 1960. The primary indicator of this era is the highly stylized, distinctly curved saber (scimitar style) sword with an ornate hilt and crossguard. On March 15, 1973, the Saudi government passed a royal decree that strictly standardized the national flag to the modern variant used today, which features a simplified, straight-edged geometric sword. The beautiful, flowing curved sword seen on this item is characteristic of flags produced commercially and officially from the 1930s through the late 1960s. The combination of this specific sword graphic, the traditional screen-printed cotton construction, and the style of the canvas header aligns perfectly with mid-century flag manufacturing.

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition. The green cotton field remains vibrant, and the white screen printing is crisp and intact with minimal age-related wear or fading. The fabric shows gentle, classic storage creasing consistent with its age. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess the fabric texture and condition for yourself.

Disclaimer: Please note that the 1950–1960 timeframe is our best estimate based on the historical sword design, printing style, and materials. We cannot guarantee the exact year of manufacture.
