'I do not think we can hope for any better thing now.
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.

In memory of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans. South Pole Expedition, 30th March 1912.
If i had the money for it, then i would buy it. Just for the historical importance of this flag.
Condition is of minor importance when it comes to very important historical objects like this.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Young William has a habit of getting a bargain..very happy he scored this one
I was able to pick up this at a small auction for just under 10k after the fees and I will be posting the one from my collection for sale on the forums with a minimal profit built in. If it sells it sells, and if it doesn't I have no problem keeping this one as I doubt I'll come across another. The Ratisbon's standard sold by Klaus Butschek went for just under 20k after currency conversion, buyer premium, Credit Card processing fees and then shipping and insurance to the buyer. The flag can be seen here:

They also sold a finial at the time, which can be seen here:

Peter Whammond also sold an example which had some minor condition issues such as small stains and whatnot and it sold on the Collector's Guild site here:

I do not know what Craig Gottlieb got for his example, but it can be seen here:
Deutschland Erwache Standard
and finally Jeff Clark has one in his archives as well, which I'm sure went for a small fortune considering his clientele:
Deutschland Erwache Standarte
Thank you once again for the positive response.
