    Default topping flag staffs

    There are a variety of top ornaments for flag poles. The usual, for the American flag, is the eagle.
    Is is improper not to have an eagle on the American flag's staff?
    Is a spear point, or other, just as proper?
    thanks,
    JT

    Default Re: topping flag staffs

    A spear point would not be improper... many smaller US flags on sticks - and school classroom flags and such like have spear finials.

    An improper finial for it would be any religious symbol one such as a cross or 6 pointed star etc

    an eagle one is only usually used with a US flag - so it is more of a unique symbol - where as a spear is used for any flag
