Another Possible original Confederate flag

[LafayetteCountyDigger]

I was at the depot antique mall here In Oxford and I saw something that caught my eye. It was what looked to be the stars part of a 1st national csa flag. It was made of bunting and in tatters. I did not photo graph it because I did not have my phone but to me it looked really old. It looked like this confederate navy flag I found on the internet in the picture. It had 11 stars. What could this possibly be? It looked to be roughly 2ft by 2ft and it was littered with holes. I think they where asking 250$

Seeing that you are 14, everything looks old to you. With no photos I would say the odds of there being an original CS flag in an antique mall in Oxford for $250 are slim and none.

I understand thanks for the reply I am looking forward to meeting you at the show

Sight unseen, I'm saying little or no chance.

 

[LafayetteCountyDigger]

Yeah I think it's a decorative piece I have seen those before

Wait he is 14???!!! Where a 14 year old get all this money for collecting? I couldn't cut enough lawns or shovel enough snow to earn the money for expensive antiques at 14. Born into wealth I was not. We Irish have no "Luck", be lucky to inherit a blighted potato patch somewhere in Ireland at this rate.

If it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all, eh?

As far as artifacts go, I own a single bullet. Given to me when I was in the fourth grade by a teacher who wanted to encourage my love for history. Someday, I'd love a sword and a half shell but I have never been to a show and wouldn't know how to discern a good sword.

I restore and sell German ww2 and American M1 helmets and people buy them. I still have a lot of money left because I sold my entire ww2 collection and so I could collect cw

Learn on this site and you will know a "good sword" from a bad.

Been there sort of. Sold my WW2 German Paratroop collection to pay off my College debt many years ago. Met a German WW2 Paratrooper in Hong Kong and thanked him for paying for my College. That got a laugh. I turned to ACW & Rev War collecting when I learned my ancestors fought in both.

That's cool I had a large collection of kriegsmarine headgear and awards and badges. I had an original relic fallscrimjager helmet shell and I used car filled to restore it.

I also had a very large collection of original stahelms from ww1 and ww2

Please stay away, there was a prolific counterfeiter of a confederate flags down that way and they have found their way into all sorts of collections and other places.
