A Historic Find: A 4'x6' CSA Battle Flag with Documentation
We are very pleased to present for sale one of the more important and rare artifacts of the American Civil War. This flag is leaving one collector's hands and we are charged with passing it on to the next collector or museum.
The battle flag comes with a long line of provenance documentation including receipts, expert letters, diagrams, and copies of Confederate newspaper references to the flag, production invoices, and much more. Please click on the "CSA Flag Documentation" link at the bottom of this page to read and review this paperwork.
We had this flag on display at the 2024 Autumn Civil War Show in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and it was received with great anticipation and pleasure from collectors and dealers alike. Many expressed their enthusiasm that this flag was becoming available again. Donley Auctions is proud to be a part of this historical transfer.
Donley Auctions offers this flag for sale purely for it's historical value. In no way do we support, condone, or encourage any extremist views. It is our view that this is history and we need to preserve it; not hide it or destroy it. As Winston Churchill and so many great thinkers has expressed over time, "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
This item is lot #146 and will be featured in our Civil War Auction on December 14 at Donley Auctions.
