You have indeed presented the conundrum - what of the smaller Second National flag?

My Madaus scale drawing of the flag at Richmond with the ANV flag as the canton states that the white area is bunting and not flannel. Hence my supposition that the bunting may have been found at Carlisle since the Richmond Depot was so short of it.

Flannel indeed was, as you have stated, more available and even that could have been secured at Carlisle from local dry goods sources or perhaps the US Army post at Calrisle itself. No one seems to say where the material comes form for the flag made using the ANV flag of the 32nd NCT so we are just guessing here at best.

Do you have the Madaus scale drawing for this flag? I guess I need to email the MOC and see what their files have for this one. I would assume that Howie saw this flag as I know he did see the CS flags at the MOC several times over the years but could be wrong there.

Lastly, I fully understand not giving out stuff that you were asked not to give out.
