German Flag Catalogs originals

[damasco]

I have collected catalogs for many years and it seems catalogs on Flags are quite hard to come by. I have maybe 10 but most are from Imperial times with many association flags and banners.. Is there many period catalogs out there? As my main focus is Solingen catalogs.. Regards: James

There is the 1917 and 1934 National Geographic Flags issues and, of course, Flaggenbuch. I also have "Flags Through the Ages" by Whitney Smith. Those are the only flag reference books I have.

Thank you for the reply.. Those are great reference..
What I meant by Flag catalogs is : Period factory German manufacture catalogs of flags and banners..

hmmmmm

I was able to obtain one of the reprint copies of the "Flaggenbuch" and to be honest, is one of my favorite references with a wealth of historical accurate information. The Germans even did the measurements of many of the countries flags of the time. I believe the reprint was very limited in production and was produce 20 years ago now. I believe I paid $500.00 for a few years ago which in my opinion was a amicable price considering the cost of others I have seen over the years.

As far as period catalogs specif to flags if I am understanding correctly, I have never seen or even heard of such a thing. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys have. I would be obliged if you would post some pictures of what even the cover of something like that even looks like. More specifically, I would love to know if any of your catalogs has the price of 4x4 or swallow tail standarts of the period? I know a couple of guys in the upper midwest that well, have collections ammased over 40 years to which the like I have never could have imaged existed; with one of them having a really large and specialized flag collection. I will ask them both if they have any period catalogs of flags for you and if they have anything interesting to say, I will let you know.

Whatever.........I don't have a clue what he wants at this point.

That's what I'm looking for .... Mr. Thomas I should have said Factory manufacture catalogs. I have some catalogs 1900 to 20s with a little military and allot of associations flags and banners.

Those Nat Geo books are pretty good. Not only military flags but other flags as well.

Good luck!

Amazing info...

I am looking for many years for manufacturer's cataloques from the Third Reich and those for flags are quite rare and hard to find.
The old Fahnen-Fleck (as cover shown by OFW) is one of the most seen one. But there is also a few pages for SA and HJ flags with drawings and prices.
The Winkler-one I am aware about, having 12 pages with flags, armbands and TR decorations.

The one I like the most is:
Flaggen und Wimpel als Auto-Stander für die Wehrmacht und Behörden from the concern Walter Simon from Dresden with 25 pages. I have seen once the colored version, but the collector did not want to give colored copies, just b/w. Most information is from 1937 through 1939, but also occasionally 1941. Included also two pages with car-poles.

Hello GS:
Nice "flyer", especially with the swastika flag sizes stated.
Curious as to if his flags had any markings? Now "wmtf" listed as
