Confederate Infantry Battle Flag – 52×52 Inch Cotton Sewn with Gold Fringe & Sleeve Ties – Civil War Replica

Large Infantry Standard of the Army of Northern Virginia – Authentic Cotton Fringed Display

This 51×51 inch square Confederate battle flag is a faithful reproduction of the flags carried by infantry regiments of the Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Designed after the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) in 1861 — where confusion between Union and Confederate flags caused critical battlefield errors — this distinctive pattern became the visual identity of Confederate forces.

Larger flags like this were commonly carried by infantry units, while smaller versions were reserved for cavalry and artillery. This replica features a rich cotton weave, gold fringe, and a traditional sleeve with ties for pole mounting — ideal for formal and indoor ceremonial use.
