I think I have seen this flag on another site. Was it ever on the military collectables site?

That 48 looks like it was made in Europe.

1) Wood toggle and roped heading. You never see that from U.S. flagmakers. When larger flags are made in the US with a roped heading they use metal rings / loops.

2) Stars appear to be printed/dyed on wool. US flagmakers often dyed cotton, but rarely wool in the 20th Century. Sewn stripes with printed/dyed canton was very common in both the US and UK.

My guess is that the flag was made in the U.K.
