3rd Georgia Infantry Flag Stickers. 

Design based on original sketches and written description of the regimental flag, which did not survive the war.

The flag is an iron fist holding a short spear (similar in design to the famed Bedford Flag from the Revolution). Wreathed around the design is that of oak and laurel. Below is inscribed "Pro aris et focis" - "for hearth and home". The obverse is the seal of Georgia, with notation to the presentation of the flag to the 3rd Georgia and the lady that produced it. This is flanked by cotton and wheat.

The flag was carried by the 3rd Georgia until May 1863, when it was heavily damaged and sent to Richmond for storage. It is believed that it was destroyed in the evacuation of the city in 1865. 

Each purchase comes with 4 stickers (two of each side) or two magnets (one of each side).
