RUDOLF CHRISTIAN GRIBEL.

Jorge Candeias describes a vertical blue-and-white bicolour with large white R.C.G. letters outlined black. Jarig Bakker contrasts Wolter’s 1968 account, which gives sans-serif counterchanged letters.

Sources differ slightly in letter form and spacing. Brown 1971 uses small letters; Rosanoski observes that Esso’s 1956 source for G449 actually places the letters closer together, with larger margins at hoist and fly, in line with G447.

The Lloyds 1912 and Seedienst Ostpreussen versions include dots.
