F. Ivers & Co.

image by Jorge Candeias, 1 Dec 2004

The flag is white with a cross, seemingly composed by 4 red and white stripes in the vertical arms and 5 green and white stripes in the horizontal arms, plus something yellow in the center. I'd advise you to take my GIF with a grain of salt because it might include some errors.
As I read it, the caption seems to read "F. Jvers", but since another "Jvers" was corrected as Ivers, I suppose the same thing happens here. The first letter looks a lot like a J, though, but that's possibly a font thing.

The firm is F. Ivers & Co., Stettin (pre-WWII Germany). The flag with the remarkable cross can be seen here (on-line 1912 Lloyd's Flags & Funnels) as No. 206 with probably the initial 'I' in the centre of the cross which repeats the colours of the combined Swedish-Norwegian flag I bet. (Not unusual, given the location.) But...by Neptune! it's a 'herring salad' in cross form!
