The Otterbourne flag proves to be, not a spear-pennon, but a standard thirteen feet long, bearing the Douglas arms: it evidently has been Douglas's own banner, which of course his son would be most anxious to preserve and carry home.

Fantastic... looking forward to seeing this in the Claymore Castings store (hopefully with a restock of the brass spears)

Ever so slightly better than my hand painted ones (though they were done quite a few years ago)!

I can see me spending a bit of dosh replacing all the flags/standards in the collection.
Very impressive chaps, well done.

David- Very Shiny! Did you do the lower pennant drawing, or is that historical source?
Cheers

Thanks Guys,
Rob: We will have a re-stock of spears from North Star in the next few days.
Foss1066: This an old drawing of the flag. I had to do a bit of research to work out what the tail of the flag looked like!
Dave: Thanks...any flags that you would like to see?
Very nice indeed - I will warn you though, researching flags is very addictive!
