You are exactly correct about the flag colors. If you would like to see the flag and it is worth taking the time, do the following on the internet:

1 Go to www.pookandpook.com
2 Click on the April 23 Auction date (on the right side of the page)
3 Click on the Auction catalog line (on the right side of the page)
4 Enter "2nd Louisiana" in the Search box on the right
5 Click SEARCH
6. Click on the flag when it comes up

Also, once the picture of the flag comes up, you can look at an enlarged picture, and open a file of 8 or 10 close-ups of different parts of the flag. The condition and needle work are fantastic.

If any of you know of someone who might buy the flag for archiving in Louisiana. PLEASE let them know. The Auction is this Friday - April 23, 2010.

Very best
