I always thought the flag was left polished and not strawed, or so it appears.

The rust blue in the area was skimmed off by milling with an end cutter just enough to remove the finish. The tiny concentric swirls of its progress are there. Whether it was actually polished afterward at the factory, I can't say, but it would seem unnecessary, and might diminish the sharpness of the borders remaining after the cut.
