  • What's This?

    Mod's please move this to where it belongs if it does'nt belong here, I was just wondering if anyone had seen one of these before? http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=3215389
    Is this a repop trying to be passed off as an original or something else?

    Doesn't say it's an actual CW era flag, only that it's an old Confederate flag.

      Authentic Legends make a ton of these decorative framed displays, and they are all repro flags aged and antiqued to look old, but they themselves never try to pass them off as anything but a decorative reproduction.

        Neither, its just a rectangular (not square) piece of cloth printed with a modern version of the CS battleflag, that has been stained and cut and framed...and sold through Goodwill Industries - you know, the Goodwill Store. The frame is probably worth what the bid starts at ($10.00).

          Just look at the size. That will tell you if it's a real flag or not.
