Product Description
This regulation cavalry guidon was carried by mounted Union troops during the Civil War, serving as both a tactical and symbolic banner. Often customized with a troop letter or unique designator inside the circle of golden stars, this flag became an essential marker on the battlefield. The U.S. Cavalry continued to use similar guidons during the Plains Indian Wars, maintaining the tradition of carrying the Stars and Stripes into battle long after other branches had ceased. Notably, Colonel George A. Custer and the Seventh Cavalry carried this guidon as one of three flags at the historic Battle of Little Bighorn.
