In Response To: Re: 8th Mo Cavalry US flag ()

The reason for the inquiry I recently found a brass grommet inside dia. 7/16" with an outside dia. of 7/8". It was found on a camp on the 8th Mo Cavalry US. Around the outer edge of the grommet is a very small amount of what looks like navy/black wool or wool bunting. Its not a tent grommet unless they made some black woolen tents and its not a poncho grommet (not gum blanket material). under magnification it looks like some type of woolen cloth. I knew their flag was of some type of navy/black material, probably silk though. I can't think of a grommet being placed on some type clothing material, well maybe a blanket. I was just looking at the flag as a possible angle.
