I can’t help with information but I like the two different images.

Hi tdurbinmas.

The 361st Separate Helicopter Regiment with the Army Unit Number 19689 was formed in 1984 and was located near the city Vladymir - village Sokol. This unit had mostly Mil Mi-24 and Mil Mi-8 helicopters. The unit was part of the 40th Army and involved in many battles during the Afghanistan war.

Did you buy this flag from hermann-historica?

Best regards,
Andrej

Thanks for the details on the Helicopter Regiment Andrej. Yes, I bought that flag from Hermann-Historica. It's my second soviet regimental. I will post the other for you to take a look at. It is a WW2 era flag I believe.

Sweet, looking forward. It's a pleasure to help.

My second CCCP Army regimental flag. An older silk flag, double sided with hand stitched Soviet Star and Hammer/Sickle and chain stitched lettering. Measures approximately 36" x 48". There is a date 1942 stitched in the end of the pole sleeve.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,
what is the difference between the flag of the 1940s and the 1980s?

[Relda]

How is in the structure the big red star built up.
Is a pattern printed there or something sewn in?

[tdurbinmas]

the differences seem to be very minimal. The silk is the same and the embroidery is very similar. The 1942 flag looks a little older, maybe darker.
