Flag Component: The flag features a solid blue field with a broad diagonal white slash rising at a steep angle away from the hoist side. Centered prominently within the white slash is the official U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary emblem in blue, which depicts crossed anchors encircling a central shield surrounded by the ring text “U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY”. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this distinct nautical emblem.
-
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 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 military dioramas).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the official ensign of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Formed by Congress in 1939 as the Coast Guard Reserve and redesignated as the Auxiliary in February 1941, the organization adopted this flag design in 1940. During World War II, civilian volunteer boat owners flew this ensign while conducting vital coastal security patrols, anti-submarine lookout missions, search and rescue operations, and harbor defense alongside active-duty forces. The emblem combines the traditional Coast Guard shield and anchors with clear organizational text. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic World War II home front coastal watch stations, naval harbor docks, or modern building block maritime rescue dioramas.
