WWII INFANTRY REGIMENT NR 56 REGIMENTAL STANDARTE TYPE TRUMPET BANNER, good example of a regimental trumpet banner with the front being in the style of a regimental standarte with finely chain stitched black army eagle with brown stitched detailing held within a bullion wire wreath set upon black Iron Cross, black chain stitched swastikas to the corners and silver wire fringe to three sides. The white silk body of the banner has some wear and fraying in places. Top side of the banner is four leather fixing tabs. Reverse of the banner has silver flat wire wreath with ‘J R 56’ within. A good untouched example of a desirable and visually pleasing trumpet banner.
