    1. Hello gents. Since the majority of these are UK related, I'll post these here. . . but many are German, French, etc... as a matter of fact, I'll start with a French one just to be contrary. Here is a well-known one, but hard to find in this shape. The Crown Prince and his dreams and diversions: #1
    2. Gentlemen, I'm not sure where I got this, but I am trying to ascertain It's worth. Any ideas? I can't tell you it's age, but it looks ancient. . . I have a US flag from the First World War (belonging to my grandfather, it flew over Camp Greene in Charlotte NC), and this French one looks identical in construction. It's 9' 4" x 6' 2". Thanks.
    3. They seem to be going up. Looking at Weitze, his Hamburgers are @ EUR 50-70, Bremeners are @ EUR160 - 180... I didn't see any Lubeckers for sale...
    4. 2 cents worth of "take it or leave it" observations from a long-time textiles guy, about the fabric "damage" to the single ribbon. Take a close look at the "warp" in the weave and you'll see why the flaw can be isolated to the one ribbon. The fabric, with age, has simply parted, probably due to an imperfection found in any looming process, perhaps a "slub," a soft thick nub in the yarn that loosened with age. In other words, the yarn has parted; it has not necessarily been "nicked." More conjecture: maybe the pin in the swords loosened the slub when it penetrated the weave. . . And take a closer look at the fabric just above the "part." It appears that aomeone with dirty fingers tried to "pinch" the fabric back together!
