George Armstrong Custer 2nd Personal Guidon (1863) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Custer’s Battlefield Legacy

The George Armstrong Custer 2nd Personal Guidon of 1863, reproduced in a 3′×5′ size, honors one of the most recognizable figures of the American Civil War. This distinctive banner was carried by Custer while commanding the Michigan Cavalry Brigade. It served as a rallying emblem for his troopers in critical engagements such as Gettysburg, Falling Waters, and Culpeper. Each detail of this reproduction reflects Custer’s bold leadership, energy, and devotion to the Union cause.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This historically faithful reproduction features a swallow-tail cavalry guidon divided horizontally into red and blue fields. The red upper section lists major campaigns in gold lettering, including Hanover, Hunterstown, Gettysburg, Monterey, Boonsboro, and others. The blue lower field bears additional battle honors such as Hagerstown, Williamsport, Falling Waters, and Culpeper. Centered across both fields are white crossed sabers, the enduring insignia of the U.S. Cavalry. The contrast of colors and inscriptions created a flag instantly recognizable among the dust and smoke of battle.
