    Hello,

    yes, I edited the post because I was not ready with my text. Bad mistake to write via iPhone :)
    Here is an interesting source:

    Bis die einzelnen Landesteile unter den italienischen Kolonialherren vereinigt wurden, gibt es Berichte von Flaggen aus den verschiedenen Landesteilen. So hatte Kyrenaika eine schwarze Flagge mit Halbmond und Stern, ähnlich der heutigen türkischen Flagge. Manchmal wird auch von einem weißen Rahmen berichtet. Möglicherweise wurde die schwarze Flagge bereits 1919 verwendet, als ein Emirat unter italienischer Oberhoheit gegründet wurde, das aber bereits 1920 wieder abgeschafft wurde.

    from:
    Flagge Libyens

    Regards,
    Sven.
    I'm always looking for photos of German and foreign countries airplanes
    and portrait photos of HJ in postcard size.

    Very nice Photo, but why would one say Südafrika and then the Gebiet Jo`burg...and yet the Cape Town one supposedly just says Kap=stadt ? Hyphenated and without Südafrika ? I guess, even if you showed me a Photo album with 100 Kap=stadt triangles in, i would still not believe it

    Sven thanks for the link, but all it is, is a German version of what i already posted, and as you can read, they only used the Black flag in the area you referred to until 1920, then the Itallian flag, and the Black flag again from 1949, so i dont quite follow what you are getting at with the posts? In any case, my initial posting/point stands, Based Soley on the flag on the Triangle, the Libya Dreieck is a Fantasy item.

    The only way you can explain this patch is to say: It was for a special branch of the HJ, who were living in an Italian Colony, but adopted the Ottoman Empire flag as they were all hardliners and anti Italy, and they also all spoke English as well, hence the Moon, star and English language

    Hello,

    Stop it, please !
    This "Libya" patch has nothing to do with Germany and even less with the HJ.

    That could be a modern scouting patch (?)

    Best regards
