The company was located in Hamburg. It is a white over green over white horizontal triband with ratio approx 1:3:1 and a red capitals "HB" in a white lozenge in the centre, the "B" being clearly higher.

The original scan must have got twisted as the H" is the same height as the "B" but the break at the bottom curves around below the base.

This is close to that shown by US Navy 1961 although its "B" base curve differs a bit . This appears to be a post WW2 company operating coasters with the last sold 1983 and then trading as Klaus Heinrich Block as agents for a partnership vessel for a couple of years.

Brown 1971 shows a different version with a green flag having the diamond throughout and the red "HB" as normal letters with no break at the bottom of the "B" .

This company used a white flag with black serifed capital letters "JB".
