Hi LadyGriffin,

I have hesitated in posting this, because I know the motto of this forum is "where are the pictures". My wife, the long suffering Margaret, is hunting high and low as I type for the examples I need. If not found by the time this posting is finished, I will post them tomorrow.
But, if you are talking of a gonfannon which is to be carried (4ft X 6ft max) you could make it yourself far cheaper. It is well within the capabilities of a normal sewing machine and a standard dining room table. I have made many flags, including a 'Union Jack' and I have no more skill on a sewing machine than any other man who is not a professional seamstress. All it takes is good planning beforehand and maybe an assistant to help move the fabric around as you stitch. Polycotton and normal thread are the only materials required. If you don't NEED to pay someone, then why do it?

Regards

Chas
