Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. In the United States Military, a guidon is a military standard that company/battery/troop or platoon-sized detachments carry to signify their unit designation and branch/corps affiliation or the title of the individual who carries it. A basic guidon can be rectangular, but more often has a triangular portion removed from the fly (known as "swallow-tailed").
This wonderful example was used by a U.S. Army Infantry unit, in this case the 200th Infantry Regiment, "2nd" Battalion, and it measures 28 inches long and 19 inches tall. The guidon is made of navy blue wool, with large white 200 at the top, over the infantry "Crossed Rifles", with "2" on the bottom. The guidon is double sided, though the reverse is a mirror image.
The guidon is in good shape, but does have some water staining as well as wear holes and tearing. The wool is a bit more susceptible to wear than cotton, so it shows the majority of the wear. The end sleeve is still intact, with an internal cotton sleeve inside the wool.
A wonderful piece of U.S. WWII Infantry memorabilia, ready to display!
