Their focus to date has clearly been on 1/72 where they have a very extensive range of Napoleonic flags, however they do have two 28mm Napoleonic French sets.
What makes this interesting is the contents of these sets, which are more than your run of the mill Infantry flag.

1 flag each for:
105me Infantérie de Ligne / 45me Infantérie de Ligne / 93me Infantérie de Ligne / 92me Infantérie de Ligne / 100me Infantérie de Ligne / 54me Infantérie de Ligne.
1 Standard each for:

Rofur itself doesn't seem to sell these flags but the are available from various retailers worldwide.
In the UK the are available from Painted Napoleonic Armies, you can order online and they ship worldwide. They currently have an older version of these sets selling at 4GBP, the new sets are on the way (expected within the next week) but will retail at 8GBP as the contents (as listed above) are double the old sets.
The word from Painted Napoleonic Armies is that the above pictures do reasonably represent the actual sheet colors i.e. not as pale as shown on the Perry page, though as it appears above the 1815 sheet is not as dark as the 1812-1814 sheet.

From the picture on their webpage, the blue looks a bit too pale... Now that mayy just be the picture :

Have you seen them in "real"
Yeah, I saw that Perry pic and thought it looked wrong, though the shots of the actual sheets look fine.
I haven't seen them myself yet, only came across them today, but I am just about to place an order.
I sent an email to the UK retailer with a query on the contents of the sheets and will place an order once I have a reply, I will send them another email to clarify the color.
Updated the post based on email from Simon at PaintedNapoleonicArmies.
Thank you : I cant wait to see your pictures.
