Flags - Donnington & Mirliton

Post by DruOz »

Anyone used Donnington or Mirliton flags 15mm flags?

Thinking of using some of each for my Swiss. Anyone tried either? How's the quality? Any tips/suggestions?
Is there somewhere else I should look? I don't access to a high end colour printer. So need to buy my flags.

Also Rene of Lorraine -- cannot find a mini company with his flag for sale - anyone know a vendor?

Try this site, click on download on the left hand side of the menu and then Medieval & Rennaissance when the next page opens. Scroll down the page to the Swiss Flags (and they are free):

I save it as jpeg, crop it down to the flag I want and then import it into word or publisher and resize to fit. Word usually keeps the most detail but you may have to play with it for a while.
