This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a historical military flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
As you correctly noted, the original design of the flag is obscured by watermarks. However, based on the Chinese filename you provided, “德国海军旗2” (Déguó hǎijūn qí 2), which translates to “German Navy Flag 2,” this accessory represents the Reichskriegsflagge, the official war ensign of the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine).
This was the primary flag flown by all German warships during the German Empire (1871-1918) and is the flag most famously associated with the German High Seas Fleet during World War I. The full, unobscured design of this historical flag was:
- A white field with a black Scandinavian cross.
- In the center of the cross, a white circle containing a black Prussian eagle.
- In the upper corner (canton), the German national tricolor of black, white, and red, with a black Iron Cross (Eisernes Kreuz) superimposed on it.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is a key item for historical dioramas of World War I, particularly for scenes involving the Imperial German Navy.
