Banners and Flags of South Africa

[archie777]

I was quite fortunate to have my late friend José Liebenberg, who personally made most of the South African Defence Force and Police, honour banners and flags.

 

He always made a sample, on order from the units, until they're happy.

 

With the final approval, he will make a second one, to be delivered to the units.

 

He never made anything unless he received an official order.

 

I bought most of his hinour banners, during the past 4 years, before he died on 27 November 2023

 

The picture are too large and I will share numerous pictures

Some Units ordered smaller banners and flags to be awarded to members or Commanding Officer for service rendered. Some with names and others without

These Unit Colour Honours were specially ordered for UNITA in Angola
