Hello again!

Beseides the light grey swords they made another important variance in the
10039 compared to the original 6074. The Black Falcon emblem on the
legendary (because almost always broken if recieved in used condition) flag
has a slightly different shape:

On the left you see the NEW version, on the right is the traditional shape.

So collectors who were worried about the value of their original Black
Falcon's Castle may calm down...

Bye
Jojo

Wow both of your flags look great!  I looked at mine today and it's printed
poorly:

This is uncommon for pieces made in the 80s...

Well, I think it was pure chance that I grabbed an accurate printed one.
I've got another flag that has a crooked silver-print, too. However, the
real problem is not the original printing but the children who played with
the parts... It's almost impossible to get a real good looking flag. Most
used parts look like these (OK, these are extreme cases):
