Very nice flags Doug! Thanks for sharing!

How do you store your flags? I had a discussion with a curator at the local museum. He said that old cloth always should be laid flat in non-acid boxes or wraped in non-acid paper. To roll flags, and other cloth, could hurt them. But this is a problem for most collectors, as space is limited.

Best Regards

Dough,

Awesome collection of flags!

These are not items you see often, only if you are to go to a museum in Russia- and even there - I doubt they have much of the non-Red Army flags.
