Anyone know a good source for a nice Soviet Flag? I don't mind a reproduction, but all the ones I find are white where the grommets are and the hammer and sickle are all bright yellow instead of gold. I found one real one, but 125 isn't really realistic right now =/

An original one should be able to be picked up for about $25-$40 (about a metre in length). They were certainly mass produced and the vast stockpile of unissued and unflown flags from the late 1980's. I picked up some SSR flags for $25 each that probably haven't even seen a flagpole. These can be quite easily obtained from anywhere in the former USSR. Fairly good modern plastic ones of the same size can usually be picked up for about $5 which is fine if you want to use it as the backing of a display as you can put holes in it and whatever you like burn it when you're finished and get another one and do it all again.
Here's some I hammered nails into some time again -
