Are they hidden somewhere or not made yet? 

Reluctant to go to other manufacturers.  The PEN flags have thin paper meaning the flags can be nicely curled.  My fat fingers like that...

That's a bit of a gap in our ranges I'm afraid, so we'll have to see what we can do in the future there.  Not sure on timescales though!

They are relatively easy to make if you have a vector graphics drawing package.

I use CorelDraw.

Thanks Leon. Timescales are for the weak and impatient...

Jim: Thanks for the tip, but you should probably know that telling me that has its limitations.  I will get one of my clever sons to help!

You might like to have a look at Pete Berry's Baccus 6 mm site. He has four sheets of Russian SYW infantry flags, each with 24 flags. Most of his flags are larger than strict 6mm scale, and I have certainly used some of his later flags very successfully on 10mm Pendraken figures..

Thanks for those suggestions!

BTW what size do you use for 10mm infantry SYW flags?

Depends on the period, and the length of the flagpoles.  Never less than 10mm, and about 15mm for the ECW. For the SYW I would be looking at about 12mm, personally.

Thanks M. Having measured against a 10mm fig (sadly not SYW) I like 12mm as a size.
Is that the size of the PEN SYW flags?

Ours are 11-12mm diameter generally, equating to around a 6ft wide flag in real life.
