Excellent flags David.
ReplyDeleteWillz.
Thank you, Willz. I do like the Swiss flags of any nation; always appealing! (And usually very reliable troops too...) :-)

What a lovely pair of standards! Sometimes, the less flashy are the most stunning. On that note, I'll drop you a line soon about another possible commission.

Thank you, Stokes. I do agree - many of my favourite flag sets are relatively simple ones. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks. :-)

Very nice as always David and unusual in having cool/cold colours throughout.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Yes, as you say, it is rather unusual to have a cool/cold palette of colours in a flag of the period. It does make it distinctive... :-)

Lovely flag David, very nice shade of blue.
