The patch on offer here is part of the very popular “country flags”series issued by the Black Eagle Lodge of the Transatlantic Council (whichcovers Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia). Each year the lodge issues a few new flapsfeaturing the flags of the countries located within the TransatlanticCouncil. This particular flap featuresthe flag of one the African countries within the council, South Africa, and I personally find it very attractive. The fl...ap depicts the South African flag and is very colorful, with red, white, green, and blue stripes and a black triangle with gold border. (It's hard to describe, so just enjoy the photos!). Ghosted into the fabric is the symbol of the BlackEagle Lodge – a large Germanic Eagle with an OA Arrow. Also ghosted are the words BLACK EAGLE, WWW 482, and TAC-BSA. The Black Eagle Lodge’s country flag flaps are produced in smallnumbers (in this case only 200 were made) and are offered by the lodge to members who takepart in lodge activities. These flaps naturally sell out quicklybecause they are so attractive and rare. All of them are officialBlack Eagle lodge flaps and thus very desirable to OA flap collectors, because this lodge is one of the most popular ones. Although Black Eagle Lodge country flaps often sell for $100 or more, I am pricing this one well below other current offers. I am sure you will enjoy having this beautiful flap in your OA collection.I will of course sell this flap to the highest bidder but hopethat you will think about purchasing this flap at the Buy It Now price tosupport American Scouting in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, because all of the proceeds from my patch sales here on eBay are being donatedto the Transatlantic Council's Friends of Scouting campaign. Thank you inadvance for your support of BSA overseas. Yours in Scouting and WWW, Greg (Transatlantic Council Scouter and Black Eagle Lodge membersince 1995)P.S. Shipping information: AlthoughI live in Germany, I have an Army Post Office box address as a military retireeand can send this flap in an envelope with full insurance and tracking for$2.85. The closest US base with a military post office is rather far fromme, so I do not go there too often. As a result, there may be a slightdelay in mailing this patch, but the advantage is a tremendous savings inpostage costs for the buyer versus the cost of mailing the patch through theGerman postal system. If you buy more than one of my items, I will behappy to combine shipping.
