Cotton Jim Flags

Colonial Flag Review

by Richard Brooks


Cotton Jim Flags, 2113 Walpole St., Virginia Beach, VA 23456. I spoke with owner Jim Russell at Historicon and he let me pick some flags for review. The flags are available in 15 and 25mm, with 6 to 8 flags per pack at $3.00 per pack.

Flags available include:
Dervish 6 packs totaling 36 different flags
English 7 packs for early India
Boer 2 packs
Egypt flags for the 3,4,6,7,8,9, and 10th regts.
Sudan 1 pack of 6 regt. flags
Boxer Rebellion 5 packs of Chinese flags
Peking Legations 1 pack with 1 each AM, Aust-Hung, Brit, Germ, It, Rus, Jap, and Fr, also 1 pack for each legation of 8 flags
US Cav pack 1 flag each for companies A-K

Obviously, these listed are just the colonial range, many other period flags are available.

The packs I chose included the Peking European Legations (Boxer Rebellion) in 15mm, Austro-Hungarian Empire in 25mm and a 25mm Boxer flag pack. They are laser printed, crisp, full color (wish I could print the samples in color for you to see), correctly scaled, well researched, and reasonably priced.

Not much else to say except Cotton Jim Flags are Highly Recommended!
