AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mercenary flag, skull flag, attributed to Belgian mercenaries or armored troops active during the Congo Crisis in the early 1960s.

According to legend, used by Belgian mercenary armored troops around M8 Greyhound armoured cars in Congo 1960-63. Black cotton flag with sewn-on appliques of a skull and crossed bones. A striking detail is the skull with a pipe/cigarette in its mouth, typical of the rough “mercenary” style of that period.

Piet wanted to turn his passion into his profession, and for years traveled to fairs at home and abroad to share his knowledge and trade militaria. In 2006, his daughter Charito Hasenbos joined the company, and since 2025, his granddaughter Danique has also been actively involved.
