"The flags were fairly similar in size with two basic issues - one for infantry and cavalry that averaged 37 by 54 inches overall and one for artillery that averaged 30 by 41 inches overall. The white edging along the cross was about 2 inches wide and was often filled with battle honors. The stars were from 31/2 inches to 4 inches across and were set every 8 inches on the 6 inch wide cross. There was no color exterior borders and the flags had a double hemmed seam to protect the edges from fraying."
There is no regular hoist on this flag but rather 4 ties with which to attach it to the staff. I can make it with a regular hoist to fly it in a modern fashion if you wish. The cost remains the same. The lettering shown on this flag does not come on a standard flag. This was a special order flag. Letters are optional, costing $3 per letter and sewn to one side of the flag only. Every component, every piece is sewn - nothing is printed.

100% durable
pre-washed cotton fabric that flies well and the
colors do not run. The hoist (that part nearest the staff) is sturdy
cotton canvas - whipped eyelets and/or ties - components are sewn, not
printed on the fabric. This flag is handmade by me - not mass produced
and feels and looks like an original. Consequently it cost more than
"sewn component" flags which are "factory" made.
