Flags, Emblems, Crests

Click on "Flags, Emblems, Crests" from the list on the left.

I have been collecting flag stamps and flag postcards for a long time now and it is always a pleasure to receive yet another flag item.  These days, I like the flags in some sort of context - e,g  carried in a parade, flying from ships, fluttering in front of some important buildings or maybe even worn as bikinis. 

Having said that, I will always welcome a flag postcard in any form of display (full faced or otherwise).

Emblems and crests are also included in this section as they also represent a particular country, state or city.  Indeed some flags are merely an emblem on a coloured background ( a lot of American State flags fall into this category).  I have received a few postcards of emblems and crests as well.

Sub-national flags (ie Provinces, States) are of special interest too.  Even cities have flags too and I have seen on some City Halls in an European city, three flags flying proudly - the city, the province and the country.   I have taken photographs but these are not the same as postcards.   Wish I have such a postcard .....
