ORIGINAL CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG WITH MISSOURI HISTORY.

Civil War Confederate silk embroidered 7-star Confederate First National pattern flag made from silk ribbons, all hand stitched with hand embroidered stars and 1-1/2″ silk fringe on fly. This is a fine, well preserved example of a typical flag made by a mother or sweetheart of a soldier going off to war. Often called “bible flags” these small flags would easily fold and could be kept in a book. 7 stars were only used for a short period of time at the very beginning of the war in April of 1861. This flag has a small tag saved with it associating it to Confederate Captain John M. Weidemeyer of the 6th Missouri Inf. Apparently Mr. Flayderman at one time owned Weidemyers diary and letters and retained this wonderful little flag. There is a typed memoir of Mr. Weidermeyer housed at Pearce Civil War Collection, Navarro College, Corsicana, Texas. SIZE: 5-1/2″ t x 15″ l. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Good to very good overall. Minor staining, small insect holes and break at center point where folded. Colors are bright as can be seen in photos. 9-93032 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2286
