Choose:

a) yes
b) no
c) not sure yet

Keep in mind that it won't be visible anymore in the old set inventories
which variant has been used.

Thanks Mauro

I don't know.

I've never pulled the trigger so far and maybe I won't again, but it
is another moment where I'm thinking about just walking away.

No. I think such comments might confuse and possibly put off some buyers. The
a, b, c type variants only really exist because they were catalogued here. If
they are no longer catalogued here then adding a comment that you will get a
'b' variant will be lost on many buyers and may leave them wondering
what they will get. It really depends on which images are retained to show the
part once merged. Where vintage parts come from known sets, I think I will comment
as i do now on the date range or the set they came from, if those parts attract
a premium price.

I have part x376px6 (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x376px6#T=C),
the large lion flag from the Royal Knights collection. Bricklink says it's
only in one set, Royal Knight's Castle, and I know I never had that set (waaaay
too expensive for my parents to buy).

Does anyone know where it might be in another set? I can't find it anywhere,
but obviously I've got it. I want to say it was an individual mini fig, sold
with maybe a horse and the red lion cape (which also says it's only in one
set).

Post an image of the flag, front and back, in Catalog Identification. Maybe you
have a different flag than the one you think you have.

To check it's size properly in studs, for measuring it, simply place it on
a LEGO baseplate and photograph it.

It's pretty easy to properly identify it and validate that it's a genuine
LEGO element.

I already verified that it's the same size and coloring. It's the same
flag as listed in the catalog.

That looks like yellowing due to age or interaction with chemicals present in
the environment. Unfortunately I don't know how you would clean that, but
perhaps someone on the forums will see this post and help you out with some information.
It might also be the lighting has an effect on the colors picked up in the flag.

For future reference it's easy to add parts using the "Add macro"
button when editing your post, the part above would look like the below macro
I've added to this post, reply to this and look at how the forum software
inserts it to get a better understanding. For best results, use the "Add
macro" button, as it will show colors that a part has available for it, and
color information stops the error you will get when trying to add parts without
using the "Add macro" button:

x376px6 Cloth Flag 8 x 5 Wave with Royal Knights Lion Head on Red and White Background Pattern
Parts: Cloth {White}

Right, I'm aware of the other sets in that theme, but that doesn't really
matter since none of them came with the large flag. I had King's Carriage,
Skeleton Surprise, and Royal Drawbridge.

Sealed package and build manual.

In such a small set that has a good photo in the catalog, you can clearly see
that there's only 1 DBG 4733. Are you saying that there is an extra one?

Hi

I’ve been having a google and I’m pretty sure this set had instructions. It’s
marked as blank in BL. I don’t have them so I can’t be sure. Is there a way to
verify / update?

It seems the plume feathers that are not used in the minifig are extra parts.
The extra plumes are seldom found with used sets found at sales. Keys in the
Harry Potter set are also confusing in this regard. Other parts like 1x1 round
plates come together and the unused ones are considered extra parts. It does
not seem right that a castle must be listed as incomplete if an unused plume
is not included.

It can be listed as complete per definition of used complete set:

Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models
(including alternate models) in the instructions but does not have to contain
the original box/packaging and/or extra parts. If the set is missing instructions,
the description must list this. If the set did not come with instructions then
the set should include all parts listed in the picture inventory which is located
on the box or bucket. The set must include all original stickers used on the
model either still on the sticker sheet or applied.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102#:~:text=Complete%20%2D%20Contents%20are%20brand%20new,)%20and%20original%20box%2Fpackaging.

This definition does not say "Set contains all parts in the regular
or alternate section".
If the plumes in a castle set are not used in any alternate model, the set can
be listed complete without them.

This is especially true of black plumes.

In Inventories, Zab3uk75 writes:

Hi, can any one confirm the head gear plumes in this set.
The inventory (Bricklink) shows
Plume feather small 4502a x 1
plume feather large 4502c x 1

The instructions show neither of these (perhaps I have missed them) but does
show
plume feather triple 4502b

Thanks for your help.

It is used in a minifigure:

Minifig No: cas173 Name: Breastplate - Armor over Black, Black Helmet, Dark Gray Visor, Blue 3-Feather Plume

cas173 (Inv) Breastplate - Armor over Black, Black Helmet, Dark Gray Visor, Blue 3-Feather Plume
Minifigures: Castle: Black Falcons

Use the “break minifigure” option to show parts that are used in minifigures
to the inventory.

Now, for the usual question of why the other plumes are in Regular while they
are not used to build the set:

The plumes came together on a sprue:

4502 (Inv) Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory

so the sprue should be in Regular.
But as one is already in a minifigure, the sprue is broken and two remaining
plumes go to Regular too.

Well, this is a turntable base:

Parts: Turntable {Black}

It is used with a top:

60474 Plate, Round 4 x 4 with Hole

Could it be that Rebrickable shows white on the assembly of the two? Like:

60474c01 (Inv) Turntable 4 x 4 x 2/3 with Black Square Base, Free-Spinning (60474 / 61485)
Parts: Turntable {White}

(which is in the "alternate items" on the inventory for your set).

“Counterpart,” not “Alternate”

Rebrickable (wrongly) has the base in White (and I don’t think they do assemblies/counterparts
there).
Brickset (which has this inventory from LEGO) has it in Black, like BL.

I think this is just that OP stumbled upon an inventory with errors on Rebrickable.
They have a forum there too where I guess this can be discussed.

I've seen cases where the part is missing completely from Rebrickable.

Also, Rebrickable now shows the extra parts (which Lego catalogs never do).

I often use Rebrickable to check inventories as they have a nice 'view'
where parts are shown large and easy to identify. I have not found a similar
view in Bricklink.
Lately however, I noticed there are discrepancies between the two systems. I
was under the impression these were from the same source, but apparently not.
Anyone has info on this issue?

Thank You

They are not from the same source.

Inventories on Rebrickable are taken directly from LEGO, which means they contain
the inventory as reported by LEGO, which may not be the same as was actually
shipped out and which does not cater for all variants that Bricklink distinguishes
(but may distinguish variants that are considered as the same on Bricklink).

Inventories on Bricklink are (nowadays) pre-filled from the same source of LEGO,
but are always manually checked and verified against what was actually packed.
The Bricklink inventories are also amended by distinguishing variants, counting
the extras (like most small parts), alternates (like different variants) and
counterparts (like stickers applied on parts, or wheel-tire assemblies).

Also, please keep in mind that although LEGO's part numbers (design ids)
are used on multiple platforms, the numbering of variants and decorated parts
may differ from platform to platform.
