U.S. Navy Infantry Battalion Flag Assembly – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Navy Infantry Battalion Flag 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 dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of an early naval flag mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag features a solid dark blue field. Centered on the flag is a prominent white diamond, which contains a dark blue fouled anchor. A fouled anchor is historically depicted as an anchor with its cable wound around itself. The surface of the flag has a smooth, printed finish that vividly captures this classic design.

• 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 proudly hold it as a standard-bearer or color guard. (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 maritime dioramas).

Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the U.S. Navy Infantry Battalion Flag, which served as the unofficial flag of the United States Navy for many years. Originally adopted in December 1864 during the American Civil War, the design features a dark blue fouled anchor on a white diamond, set against a dark blue background. The fouled anchor traditionally represented the trials and tribulations that the Navy had to contend with to secure the country. For more than sixty years, this specific flag was utilized by naval landing forces and functioned as the Navy flag in drill formations, parades, and other ceremonies. It was eventually superseded on April 24, 1959, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially authorized a new U.S. Navy flag design. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic late-19th to mid-20th-century naval dioramas or vintage building block military displays.
