Flags are becoming very difficult to salvage as ships are steering away from natural fiber (more expensive) material and using synthetic materials which don't have to last as long and are disposable.  Where we typically receive 600-700 flags in a shipment of salvage, we received about 80 in this one.  We still have a good stock of salvaged flags from prior shipments, however most of the more popular countries (anything European or with the Union Jack on them) are scarce. Call or email for availability.
