no not them martin, they are called scaleflags.com, I had some last year, they where very good, light and soft, not like the cardboard looking ones readily available, but the comapny changed hands, and it looks like the once very good service has gone down the pan! :((

Hi-ya,i know of a company(one man band)called "scale flags & ensign",but he does not advertise on flee-bay.It is word and mouth,and he does attend some shows,he is in grantham lincs.He does various scale flags.He also done an admarilty flag on my steam picket boat, but used my name as the admarilty.Now if you go to(traders events) Ron deans show you will see my steam picket boat and lifeboat with his flags,so you can see a very good quality flag.If you require his details pm me.Baloo

they must be very very busy, they dont answer messages on the ebay site, or emails, must be nice to be that successful in business :}

I bought a lovely red ensign from 'Scale Flags & Ensigns' at the Deans Marine open weekend which is very light and pliable.

As baloo rightly says, Mike Allsop is 'Scale Flags & Ensigns', he's based in the Grantham area and the business 'phone number on the packing card is 01476 573331.

thanks to all, it would seem Mike is not the ebay company, so when he is back hopefully he will be able to make my flag! Unless anybody knows of another company who do commission made flags? I want the blue Ensign, with a vosper logo, 75mm

thanks
