Magnificent!
I know this will sound absurd to a lot of collectors, but I always like these RAD standards even more than the military standards. there is something about the colors and the simplicity of design that just makes them, in my opinion, exceptionally dramatic pieces of history.
REALLY nice!

Thank you for the compliments!
I'm afraid I have no provenance and doen't have a unit designation. It is very near mint, but some small tack holes on the pole side indicate it was hung once. The streamer doesn't have any shields mounted, but have never been used. The pole top is properly stamed and is very nice. Thanks again!

Just beautiful, I am jealous!
I've been drooling over this one for some time now:

but, alas, funds are tight
David.At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'
