1st Regiment South Carolina Volunteers (1861) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the 1st South Carolina Volunteers

The 1st Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, organized in Columbia during early 1861 under Colonel Maxcy Gregg, was among the first regiments to enter Confederate service. Comprised of South Carolinians eager to defend their state, this regiment served along the coast before joining the Army of Northern Virginia. This 3’x4′ reproduction flag honors the regiment’s early devotion and its symbolic role as one of South Carolina’s first organized Confederate volunteer units.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

The flag features a white field with a green palmetto tree standing tall at the center and a gold crescent positioned in the upper hoist. Below, the bold gold text “1st Regt S.C.V.” clearly identifies the unit. The palmetto symbolizes South Carolina’s strength and endurance, while the crescent pays tribute to the Revolutionary-era defenders of Charleston. Together, these elements reflect the state’s heritage of independence and military valor. This design represents the early transitional period when South Carolina regiments carried state-based flags before adopting Confederate national colors.

Skilled American makers craft every reproduction from durable all-weather nylon, chosen for its rich color, strength, and resistance to fading.
