My contact in Fort Worth told me earlier today that the museum owner had been seriously injured in a traffic accident in January 2020. That was news to me. The pandemic caused some loss of revenue in other business ventures too. The sale of that flag appears to be legit.

It seems impossible but these are strange times. I hope a serious collector buys it and puts it on loan to some museum. I wonder what arrangement the original own had with the museum. There are other civil war items on loan there, family heirlooms, etc., I hope the families are not being duped.
