German term or phrase: Wittenberger Kinderbekleidung Fensterfahne, rot PAS 1.Wahl Produktionszeitraum
Dear translators! This phrase is from the Soviet flag, which, as I was told, was made in Germany in 1986. I typed the text in exactly as it appeared on the tag of that flag. What does it say? Thank you!

Pantone


Explanation:
I believe the PAS refers to Pantone, a standardized color matching system used for all kinds of fabrics and textiles. Abbreviation is PMS in English (Pantone Matching System), so PAS is probably the German or Russian abbreviation for the Pantone system. (Pantone Abstimmung System?) More about Pantone concept here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantone

Example sentence(s):
  • The blue in the Scottish flag is Pantone 300 (PMS 300).
