My statement is based on the proportions. The 46th's flag shares the same basic shape and proportional characteristics as the Charleston Depot flags. 8" bars w/ 4.5" stars, spaced at 8", w/ 3/4" to 1" fimbration and a 2" to 2.5" border. The variation in overall size is within the parameters of it being an infantry flag. (Even though a number of Florida infantry units received artillery flags, complete w/ red sleeves)
I've always liked the Charleston flags. They have a balanced look that is pleasing to the eye. Personally, I consider them the ultimate expression of the Beauregard design. (Nothing at all against the ANV flags)
