The flag the 2nd Florida lost at Gettysburg is something of a mystery. Daisy Parker's article"Battle Flags of Florida Troops in Confederate Service",', Apalachee, No 3 (1948-1950) describes the lost flag as "a silk one 'presented by the ladies'. It was the Confederate battle flag with one addition - an intersection of the cross in the center of the flag surrounded by a golden sun burst."

The second description is on page 178 of Rollins "The Damned Red Flags of the Rebellion" where the flag is described as "a beautiful silk flag bearing a rising sun with the inscription 'Williamsburgh' and 'Seven Pines'". 

Based on these two descriptions, the design of the flag has been put together utilizing commonly issued features of battle flags during this period in conjunction with the sunburst and battle honors.

Each purchase comes with one sticker or one magnet.
