ZFC2041
US // Army / Coast Artillery HQ
Sub-collection: U.S. MilitaryThis noteworthy variant WWI guidon does not conform to the 1886 guidon specifications in that it is not swallow-tailed and has a reverse hoist. It was probably acquired locally and used to indicate a HQ. The hoist was probably reversed so that the guidon read correctly as you approached the HQ building.
From the Veninga Flag Collection.
