5th Florida Cavalry Batt. flag

I am looking for information regarding the flag(s) the 5th Florida Cavalry Battalion carried. My GGGrandfather, Benjamin S. Sweet served in the 5th Fla. Cav., Co. B. I found a notation on the FOTW website indicating that the 3rd National they carried was located in the Dekalb County History Museum near Atlanta, Georgia. I checked with the museum and they do have the flag, but their museum is closed until October. Can any one give me any information about this flag and/or any other flags the 5th Fla. may have carried? I would assume that the Dekalb flag was carried at the very end of the war due to the late adoption of the 3rd National design. Thanks.
