Bill,

Awesome Flags !!!

The Soviet WWII stuff is really great to behold. The Red Banner "Red "Banner" Flag is a first for me. Didn't know there was such a flag, but it certainly makes sense.

Hey Mike...sorry for not replying sooner...out of town for a few days goofing off...About the Dresden STASI flag...I thought I could quietly slip it on the forum, but you caught me in a manner of minutes...sorry to make your heart skip a couple of beats...About the flag hard to remember some of the details since I picked the flag up around 1995 from Germany. Overall...it took me about four months to work out a deal on the flag and since then kept it under wraps until I posted it on this thread last week.

Bill...thanks for sharing your very nice detailed and embroidered flags...

Mike in a few days I will post some other flag(s)...that are at least NON-STASI so as not to make your heart skip a beat...

Here are two Soviet examples from my
recent show display - a model 1935 NKVD Border Guard Regiment (left),
and a model 1942 Red Army Rifle Regiment battle damaged in WW2 (right).
