You will have to find someone selling their old ones, Smiley has passed.

I can tell you that if you go to a short range br match the field will be over 90% smiley flags, maybe more in some regions. The poles and flags are the toughest out there. You can toss them both in the back of the truck and not baby them. They cost over $100 each when new. Are you looking to buy or to sell? Smiley was a great man and is sorely missed in the BR world.

Many years ago I was at an IBS match that gave out some prizes. At the end of the day there was one Smiley Flag , no pole, laying there and the guy running the match picked it up and threw it in a trash can. I asked if I could have , he said sure it's no good without the pole. I have had it in my vehicle for many years with another pole. It's always with me, it has been shot twice at matches, I call it one of my "Old Friends". The Old Friends are the things I refuse to throw away that my wife calls junk. In that collection are some old flannel shirts I am only allowed to wear to shoots.

A couple of month ago I bidded on a set of 4 Smiley flags on eBay. Winning bid was $145.00. Called Speedy Gonzales on what he thought of this flags. His reply, they the the Best. Ordered 6 daisy wheels from Smileys Wife, sweet lady. Bought 4 light stands of Adorama or B&H. Then I made the stems to insert the flags. Quality is top notch.

The flags I use everyday were made years ago by Stan. If you have to ask, it would not mean anything to you. So don't.

Thanks for all the replys. I have recently come into quite a few of these. Half are brand new still in wrappers.
I cant see using all of these at one time. So I may put them up for sale. I appreciate the responses. Thanks!
