Didn't know where to post this so the moderator is free to move it to where they deem appropriate. On another site (Civil War Message Portal Board) I was told the Museum of The Confederacy had, within their holdings, a flag from the regiment that my great uncle, Joseph Hammons, was a member of. This flag was from the 1st Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 1862.
Joseph was a Tennessean that joined the 1st Georgia Cavalry while they were camped at Clinton, Tennessee. The museum provided pictures and measurements of every aspect from the flag.....overall size, canton size, star size with spacings, etc. I had Southern Pride Flags in Georgia make this flag from that information. He even angled the stars as much like the original as possible.
I am absolutely stunned by the quality of this flag. Everything is sewn together from scratch and the price was much, much less than I expected. I highly recommend his work. I'm sure he can make some great flags for you Union fellows, too. It took a little over 3 months for him to get the flag to me. Pics attached.
Anyone that has had a flag made please post them here and share everything about it with us. This would be really helpful to reenactors and anyone studying particular units.
