Never buy a flag from Ebay unless it is part of the Live Auctions held by reputable auction houses. Never! This flag is an out and out fake and some poor guy lost $2000 over it. Can't wait until he finds out about it - he will hopefully come after the dealer.

Real flags do not go for $2000. Real flags come with letters from Fonda Thomsen or the late Howard Madaus, myself or some other known flag historian.

Hard to believe that some guy sold is as THE flag of the 6th & 7th Arkansas when their actual flag, albeit their 1864 and later flag, is in the Old Capitol Museum. Even harder is that some guy believed him.

If there is ever a question on CW flags post it in Jim Martin's CW Flags Message Board as there are a number of people there who can help.
