<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walnutts, post: 96960, member: 1379&quot;]It was sold about 3 years ago - it was amazing - had not seen the light of day since 1901 - was a government issue Cavalry Guidon (swallow tail American Flag) that had been &quot;rescued&quot; by a Massachusetts Infantryman &quot;from beneath a pile of the bodies of Union Cavalrymen&quot; as the soldier&#039;s Regiment entered the battlefield at Gettysburg. The silk was amazingly well preserved and retained spots of blood from the fallen heroes. It was purchased by the Museum of the Horse Soldier in Tucson, Arizona and is now on display there!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
