As one told me that russian navy began to use flags made of synthetic fibers after the collapse of ussr. Is that true?
I am not an expert but I do have a few of the Russian Federation naval flags and unfortunately they are not the wool bunting as the previous USSR navy flags. The coast guard flag is a heavy nylon and the naval ensign and jack are like a heavy cotton, maybe synthetic, but diffidently not wool bunting. It is interesting that these flags are all sewn and not printed as the USSR navy flags. I should mention that in the few years after the break up of the Soviet Republics that Russia continued to use it's surplus wool bunting for the it's new flags but this seems to have tapered off today. I have a couple of wool St. Andrews which date from the early 90s. Recent photographs have shown that the Russian Navy has gone the way of nylon like the rest of the world. Too bad! russia.1145516640.14_russian_flag copy.jpg Last edited by CtahhR; 09-11-2013 at 08:03 AM. |
