Guards Corps
The second most intricate design is that for the Guards Corps. Here is the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps. Again, the Lenin on the reverse ( only Guards units could use Lenins image on the flag) is side looking.

Guards Corps
Here is a real life one I had in; sorry for not 'shooting' it well; the flash warps the edging color too. Its for the 5th Guards "Stalingrad' Tank Corps.

Guards Regt.
Here is a well worn, but needless to say ultra-rare, WWII Air Force Guards Regimental Flag for the 129th Guards Fighter Regt. Air and Army units used the same style of flag. Note "Death to the German Invaders" on the top.
The color is a bit dark as i had to shoot it indoors on the floor : ) DD |

repro
Here is a repro / modern copy Guards flag. I do not think it was made to fool collectors, rather I think it was used for display in a smaller museum or for parade use. The older flags do not hold up as well, so in the 1980's some of these were made.
The "Guards Flag" is for the 20th Guards Rifle Division. DougD |
