RCW Flags

[koz10]

Does anyone have any links to RCW flags? I'm looking for Bolshevik naval flags - I've got one flag but need three as I'm finishing three units. Woo hoo!

Thanks!

Only one I can think of specifically is this one.  Click Download and then RCW on the next page.  Only one naval flag that I can see, though, sorry.

These are mostly black and white, but they may still be of some interest.

Click on the flag's name to see it on this one.

But if you go on the following link:

you will get some really nice printable flags ready to use!
I do not think that there were specific navy flags for the reds. Usually sailors were mixed in the normal units of  red guards. Individual naval units can use a plain red flag.

As a humble suggestion: take the naval flag from the danish site, keep the anchors design add other letters in Cyrillic (maybe our russian speaking friends can give specific ideas) or add some revolutionary designs -such as a golden sickle and hammer design and you have some variety in your flags.

Thanks very much! I didn't care much for the "textured" look at the Danish site (been there before) or the modern look to the cyrillic text. I did like the suggestions offered - really good stuff! Thanks!

MS WordArt lets you generate empty text, which you can curve. You can then stick this into a drawing program and colour it in. That allows you to quickly generate new flags.

I have only drawn one flag for sailors. The text is for Torpedo Odessa. That is because all my non-divisional units are named like Soviet era soccer teams from the Ukraine - there is a Locomotiv Kharkov and a Spartak Kiev too.



The image is pretty grainy, but I paint all mine anyway, so they don't need to be too exact.

God your good Plant!

The Flag with anchor - an atheletic command.

Here is drawings real existed flag on photography.
The Back, regrettably, not known. Possible - simply red.

and what's written on it?

[cuprum]

1) "Death to bourgeoisies!"
2) " Long live revolutionary red fleet. All sailors on protection of the revolutions!"

Very nice. One of these days I'm going to have to get some Black Army flags done (that is, for Mahkno, not my company.)

You're a saint, my friend:) This is really a nice piece. Did you do it?

Would you mind translating?
