Adopted 15 July 1953.

Specs.: stripes unknown!; h&s placement and size unknown!
The thin white stripes seems to be due to a heraldic concern —
same thing for Latvia and
Estonia, but not for the others...

No hammer, sickle and star on the
reverse side.

I was aware at the time that Mikhail Gorbachev had decided to let
Latvia, Lithuania and
Estonia fly their 1918
national flags, in addition to their S.S.R. flags.

I, too received several Soviet era flags, complete with their
manufacturers labels, back about the time of 1990, it was
possible to buy an unopened package of the flags of all the
republics, but I did not have the funds for that, so all I
acquired were Russian,
Georgian, Latvian,
Lithuanian, and Estonian
SSRs and the Lithuanian tri-colour.
The Lithuanian national flag
was definitely made by the same source in the USSR
as the others, and before 1990. I do not remember where the
flags were made, I will have to find the labels, but I think it
may have been Kazakhstan.
