THIS AUCTION IS FOR 2 FLAGS
--now agreed that HONE HEKE was legitimate and had supplied the pole for HOBSON at WAITANGI in 1840 in an AGREEMENT THAT THIS FLAG WOULD BE HOISTED--HOBSON broke that AGREEMENT and consequently HONE CUT THE FLAG DOWN SEVERAL TIMES--
TWO--3 X 30cms x 45 cms 'VEHICLE WINDOW' FLAGS--
-- total length of about 40cms precludes it from any cheaper postal rate--
--this is a NEW VERSION OF the LARGER FLAG--SUITABLE FOR VEHICLES [attaches to window on secure and strong plastic holder]--see scans--ALSO CAN BE FLOWN OFF BUILDINGS,etc--i have 1 on my car and 1 off the front of the garage and a LARGE FLAG ON A FLAG POLE

is of the NEW ZEALAND FLAG OF INDEPENDENCE--AS CHOSEN BY 25 CHIEFS THAT ASSEMBLED IN WAITANGI ON 20th MARCH 1834---BRAND NEW FLAG --- RECOGNIZED AS THE FIRST OFFICIAL FLAG OF NEW ZEALAND --- USED ON EARLY TRADING SHIPS ETC---often referred to as the 'FLAG OF THE UNITED TRIBES OF NEW ZEALAND' ---GIVEN OFFICIAL APPROVAL FROM KING WILLIAM 1V--

THE RECENT CONTROVERSY ON FLAG CHOICE needs serious research in history
--here we have an approved flag that was chosen by maori chiefs ,approved by maori and pakeha and KING WILLIAM --and yet we have hobson forcibly removing it at waitangi and replacing it with his UNION JACK
