Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic example of a French WWI / WWII era “RF” flagpole topper. The letters “RF”, standing for République Française (French Republic). The French Third Republic (French: Troisième République, sometimes written as La IIIe République) was the system of government adopted in France from 4 September 1870, when the Second French Empire collapsed during the Franco-Prussian War, until 10 July 1940, after the Fall of France during World War II led to the formation of the Vichy government.
This example measures approximately 15 ½” x 4” and is offered in wonderful condition. There are some very minor dents, bends and folds present, but that is expected with thin metal material. The hole for the actual pole is a little misshapen but does appear able to still be mounted on a pole if you would wish to do so.
A lovely example ready for further research and display.
