Military Flags

Flags are commonly collected by military enthusiasts. Flags often change hands when one army defeats or allies with another. Flags from other nations are most common but by no means the only historical flags collected.

Often, different military branches, regiments, battalions, divisions, or companies develop their own banner either officially or using war art. These flags vary in rarity but are fascinating pieces of history. Both current and historical flags delight collectors today.
