A STAR FROM A CIVIL WAR PERIOD 34 STAR US FLAG, WITH US INFANTRY INSIGNIA

$295.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: M25266

18” x 14” matted display, numbered 9 of 34, is ready for framing. It features a large star on a field of blue along with a section of red/white fabric from a large US 34 star barracks flag that flew during the Civil War. Star measures 9 ½” across. Other section of fabric measures 3 ½” x 2”.  Some minor staining to star. There is a small frayed area to the right of the lower right arm of the star. Shiny areas visible in the photograph are due to camera flash on the plastic wrapping that protects the display.

The 34 star pattern was flown from July 4, 1861 to July 3, 1863 when West Virginia was admitted to the Union. While the flag this star and fabric came from was in tatters, it measured approximate 10’ x 16’. The copy photo included in the display shows a similar size flag being used as a backdrop prop. The original photograph of an unidentified Union soldier was taken by Cooley, a 10th Army Corps photographer in Beaufort, SC.

An authentic Union Civil War era infantry horn is included in this display.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.  [ld]
