Well, guys, I I thought you would be interested in the latest "battle flag" I seen more than usual to go up for auction lately, most are dubious in my opinion. This one will be subject to a little more scrutiny and have more and sharper pictures when the entry is complete. Possibly some decent provenance. It sure looks nice in the picture. If it is real, it should go to the right place for preservation. I am cutting and pasting the entry here in its entirety for consumption, so please pardon any superfluous content This will not allow me to post the image with the text so I am cutting and pasting the linkt here so you can view it without having to go into Heritage to find it. If anyone has any ideas on it or how it can be brought back to the State money-wise, please pitch in.
