7th August 2002	Queen's Colour By sally I am trying to find a replica of the Queen's Colour, lost and found after Isandlwana. Ideally I would also like the pole plus crown. It does not have to be full size. RRW do not have. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

8th August 2002	Glenn Wade Sally, The 1879 group have a replica Regimental and Queens' colour in their living history section (of which i am a member). I don't know where the flags are from but the crown at the top was specially cast from the origional one in Brecon Cathedral so I don't think you will have a good chance of getting the crown but good luck anyway!

8th August 2002	Martin Everett Dear Sally, A full sized replica Colour of the 1/24th was made 4 years ago by Toy, Kenning and Spencer and presented to David Rattray at Fugitives' Drift. There is no reason why you should not able able to buy a Colour pike and Crest (the Lion & Crown) which are accually use on Colours today. Just contact me. If you wish an image fo the Colour in 1879 then I can send you one.
