    Default Missing flag on the Alligator

    I just received this miniature in the mail. I noticed that the national flag was blank instead of one of the French flags found on the other ships. Is this intentional?

    The mini should have a white flag.

    This is the flag of the Bourbons, the French kings before the French Revolution.



    A stripe of blue and red should fix the "problem".

    The Commerce de Bordeaux has a white flag, too.

    Don't do Fleur-de-lis Mick.
    The National flag was plain White as depicted.

    I have to be careful at work with comments about the French! , one of our Radiographers is from Montreal, though he is not one of the French population there!
