mp44 Posted February 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2015 Found this at an estate sale. It is hand painted on silk and appears to be old and fragile. Sorry about the poor pictures, had to take them with my phone. Will try to get better ones tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted February 28, 2015 Share #8 Posted February 28, 2015 Just to add to the speculation, I believe some of the regimental flags used during the Civil War were hand painted on silk. Hopefully you can find something else at the estate sale that might tie into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMarineCorps Posted March 1, 2015 Share #9 Posted March 1, 2015 Or maybeits just artwork, done by a marine vet? I thought they didnt add that dot to the anchor until the 1950's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherneck72 Posted March 1, 2015 Share #10 Posted March 1, 2015 This is an artist fantasy piece. The flags since at least the 1930's are embroidered. It is meant to look like a modern era Marine colors. The Corps device design shown is the post-1962 variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Pearcy Posted March 5, 2015 Share #11 Posted March 5, 2015 If it was WWI, it should be on a BLUE back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
