U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps Vessel Pennant (1923 Model) Assembly – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps Vessel Pennant (1923 Model) Assembly Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop

Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical military maritime dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the official vessel pennant for the United States Army Quartermaster Corps, mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a printed rectangular tile designed to represent a triangular pennant. It features a distinctive color-blocking pattern: a red right-angled triangle in the upper hoist (top left) and a dark blue right-angled triangle in the lower hoist (bottom left). This creates a central white field which forms a diamond-shaped portion on a true physical pennant. Centered prominently on the white background is the official branch insignia of the Quartermaster Corps printed in dark blue, which depicts an eagle with wings spread perched on a wheel with 13 stars, crossed by a sword and key. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish with a decorative stitching pattern running vertically along the hoist edge.

• Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit standard bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).

Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps Vessel Pennant as prescribed in the 1923 edition of Army Regulations (AR 260-10). While the massive troopships of the Army Transport Service flew a diagonal tricolor flag, all other vessels operated by the Quartermaster Corps were authorized to fly this distinct red, white, and blue pennant. The central insignia is rich in symbolism: the wagon wheel represents transportation, the 13 stars symbolize the original colonies during the origin of the Corps during the Revolutionary War, and the sword and key indicate the military and storekeeping functions that are the core duties of the Quartermaster Corps. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic interwar or early World War II military harbor scenes, coastal defense supply bases, or building block maritime logistics dioramas.
