These large cotton flags are actually less seen than the Silk ones. Nice flag and in excellent vintage condition.

Wagriff, think these cotton flags are earlier in the war. or not necesserly, for a hand stiched flag . the qaulity of the stiching ia amazing. very evenly done. deadeye

I love your flag, it's really gorgeous. I am very interested in purchasing something similar, but I am new to collecting and I don't know of any reputable dealers and I want to avoid fakes.

Can you point me in the direction of a reputable source to purchase a flag like yours? Or perhaps you might be interested in selling it?

Hi Thomas,

I wondered about that too and that's why I asked to see a full photo as well as learn the dimensions. Still waiting.

Perhaps the hinomaru is more offset than it appears to be but without knowing how much of the fly is folded under, if any, I can't tell for sure.

Regards,
Stu

I had wondered that myself. The photo does enlarge, though, and under magnification, it does, definitely look to be a centered(Army) sun. An excellent flag in either case.
