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 a watermark. However, based on the Chinese filename, “德国海军旗” (Déguó hǎijūn qí), which translates to “German Navy Flag,” this accessory represents the Reichskriegsflagge, the official war ensign of the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine).
This was the flag flown by all German warships during the period of the German Empire (1871-1918), and is most famously associated with World War I. The full, unobscured design of this historical flag was:
- A field with three horizontal stripes of black, white, and red, which were the national colors of the German Empire.
- In the center, there was a large black Prussian eagle.
- In the upper corner (canton), there was a black Iron Cross (Eisernes Kreuz).
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 German High Seas Fleet or naval infantry.
