To be more precise, it is the flag of a Commander of the Fleet, used from 1950.1992. The numbre of stars varied as is follows:
-Commander of the Fleet (3 stars)
-Commander of flotilla and esquadron (2 stars)
-Commander of a Group (1 star)
So it is not an ebay joke, gentlemen...

There were also Broad-pennants, and pennants for Commander of a Division and for Seniority.

There´s more information available at:

Hello, as you may have guessed, I'm new. Thanks for letting me in on the discussion.

I acquired one of these flags recently. Being new to the sport, I have almost no concept of how much things cost. I think I paid about US$20, anyone have an opinion as to the fairness of that price?

yes, its a fair price in the west. in moscow they go for about $10. they were made in huge numbers.
