Original U.S. WWII Army Blue Infantry Swallowtail Guidon Pennant - 18 x 28”
-
Original Item: Only One Available. In the United States Military, a guidon is a military standard that company/battery/troop or platoon-sized detachments carry to signify their unit designation and branch/corps affiliation or the title of the individual who carries it. A basic guidon can be rectangular, but more often has a triangular portion removed from the fly (known as "swallow-tailed").
This wonderful example was used by a U.S. Army Infantry unit as indicated by the crossed rifles. The guidon is made of navy blue wool with the infantry "Crossed Rifles", in the center. The guidon is double sided, though the reverse is a mirror image.
The guidon is in good shape, but does have some water staining as well as wear holes. The wool is a bit more susceptible to wear than cotton, so it shows the majority of the wear. The end sleeve is still intact.
A wonderful piece of U.S. WWII Infantry memorabilia, ready to display!
