7th Michigan Cavalry Regiment Guidon (1863) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Custer’s Michigan Cavalry

The 7th Michigan Cavalry Regiment Guidon of 1863, reproduced in a 3′×5′ size, honors the mounted soldiers who rode under Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer. As part of the famous Michigan Cavalry Brigade, this regiment fought in major battles including Gettysburg, Yellow Tavern, Trevilian Station, and the Shenandoah Valley Campaigns. Their red-and-white swallow-tailed guidon symbolized both speed and determination on the open battlefield.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This historically faithful reproduction displays a bicolor field divided diagonally—red above and white below—forming the classic swallow-tail cavalry shape. Centered on the design are crossed sabers, the traditional insignia of the United States Cavalry, rendered in gray with the unit’s marking “7 Mich.” The simplicity of this pattern expressed discipline and unity, while the striking contrast ensured visibility during the chaos of mounted combat. Each detail captures the same precision and spirit carried by Custer’s men during their daring campaigns.
