A Banner Honoring Michigan’s Legendary Cavalry

The 6th Michigan Cavalry Regiment Guidon of 1863, reproduced in a 3′×4′ size, celebrates one of Michigan’s most heroic mounted units. This regiment gained fame under the Michigan Cavalry Brigade led by General George A. Custer. The 6th Michigan fought with unmatched spirit in campaigns across Virginia, including Gettysburg, Yellow Tavern, and Cold Harbor. Their distinctive red swallow-tailed flag became a proud emblem of their courage and swift maneuvers on the battlefield.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This historically accurate reproduction features a deep crimson field split into a classic swallow-tail guidon shape. At its center lies the Michigan state coat of arms, symbolizing steadfast loyalty and honor.

Below the seal, a bold blue ribbon bears the inscription “6th Michigan Cavalry.” The combination of these elements captures the pride, valor, and unity that defined Michigan’s mounted troops.
