拍品专文

The most significant artifact known to have survived from the battlefield on the Little Bighorn River.

The only flag carried by George Custer's battalion not to have been captured by their opponents.

The traditional story of its recovery confirmed by additional scholarship of the flag's provenance.


The present guidon was carried by a member of Thomas Custer's company.

Full cataloguing forthcoming
