Flag Component: The flag features a rectangular tile with a solid white field. Centered prominently on the flag is the full-color United States Coat of Arms, depicting the iconic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, complete with a shield and a halo crest of stars. Positioned in each of the four corners is a red five-pointed star. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this intricate and historic government insignia.
-
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 an official 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 scenes).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the official positional flag of the United States Assistant Secretary of War. Serving as the civilian deputy to the Secretary of War, the Assistant Secretary utilized this flag design which acts as an inverse of the Secretary’s flag—featuring a white background with red stars rather than a red background with white stars. The four corner stars denote the high, Cabinet-level civilian authority of the office. Following the National Security Act of 1947, which reorganized the War Department, this exact historical design was retained and continues to serve today as the official positional flag for the United States Assistant Secretary of the Army. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic World War II War Department offices, Pentagon settings, general staff briefings, or modern building block military headquarters dioramas.
