      I'd recommend Paul and Peter Luks of our battalion, the Liberty Rifles. The Twins both have daytime jobs and don't reproduce their flags 24/7. However, they may be able to help you out.

      Paul Luks: pluksodu@msn.com
      Peter Luks: cheesermackey@msn.com

      Check out this thread for some images of their work:

      Hope this helps,

      (The featured flag is the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery flag unfurled at a film shoot this past weekend)

        I can't quite tell from your post if this is an original flag or not.

        If it is an artifact, I encourage you to contact Fonda Ghiardi Thomsen – Widely. She is considered one of the leading experts on antique textiles and has worked on flags for museums and private collections.

        I'm confident she can do any repair/restoration you are looking for.
