Uncommon Indian Wars period (circa 1877–1890) 38-star American flag, measuring approximately 100? x 60?, made from a wool bunting material, the blue canton featuring white cotton stars sewn on both sides. The 38 stars are arranged in a uniform 7/8/8/8/7 pattern. There are no metal grommets on the hoist, but rather an old braided rope cord sewn in with loops on either end. At the bottom of the hoist are two small modern museum identification tags; the consignor notes that this flag was displayed at the Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia, for over thirty years. In very good condition, with some staining to the hoist, and a few holes and areas of fraying to the flag.
