Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. In the U.S. military, a "flag officer" is any officer of high enough rank to fly a flag from the location of their command. In the U.S. Army, this applies to Officers of the Brigadier General (1 Star) rank and higher. Flags such as these were often attached to the outside of tents or other locations outside, while a more ornate fringed version would be used inside.
This flag has three stars, for a Lieutenant General rank officer, and measures 18" x 30". It is made from red wool fabric, with cotton or linen stars sewn onto the center of both sides. One end is folded over into a header, with small pockets on either end with a leather hanging tab inside. There is a tag on the interior reading:
Freedom Flag Co. Inc.
Flag Distinguishing Lieut. Gen’l
USMC Nylon/wool Bunt.
Cont. DSA-1-64-602
Stock #: 8345-249-6233
Condition is very good considering the age. The colors are still bright, and there is not much staining from wear. A very nice example, ready to display!
