Replicas of Confederate Era State Flags made by CSA Flags

The Georgia State Flag. There was no official GA State flag at the time Georgia declared her independence. In 1861, the governor ordered flags to be provided for the State militia which were to bear the "arms of the State." Several of these have survived, some with red fields, some with blue. I've also seen a depiction of the arms appearing on a white field. This replica can be made for $200.

The Florida State Flag. Adopted 13 Sept. 1861, it is a modified First National Flag, bearing the State seal. The flag shown can be made for $300 (a lot of painting there!).

The Louisiana State Flag. Adopted 11 February, 1861, it contains the colours of the flags of France and Spain. A 3' x 5' is $150.

The Mississippi State Flag was officially adopted on 26 January, 1861. It incorporates the Bonnie Blue flag and the magnolia tree. 3' x 5' replica costs $150. The tree is painted on one side only.

The Texas State Flag, as used by the 1st Texas Regiment. This particular replica is based on the depiction of the flag in Crute's book Emblems of Valor. According to Sumrall, the flag was longer and had other lettering. A 3' x 5' is $40, without the lettering or fringe.

North Carolina's State flag contained the dates of her declarations of independence: 20 May, 1775 - independence from England, and 20 May, 1861, independence from Lincoln's union. The letters are machine embroidered. Price is $100.

As for South Carolina and Virginia, their official State flags are unchanged from CSA days (though it seems the Lady Liberty of the earlier flag was more modestly represented). Information on other Confederate State flags may be found in Devereaux Cannon's The Flags of the Confederacy.
