Default Re: Where is the oldest authentic 13-star and stripes flag?

The Flag Guys (The Flag Guys, American Flags, confederate flags, flagpoles, civil war flags, half staff) sells a 3 x 5 foot replica of the Fowle flag. I fly mine on Yorktown day and other Revolutionary War anniversaries.

The owner of the Flag Guys is Al Cavalari, who is also the "Shopkeeper" for NAVA and an all-around good guy. Tell him we sent you!

Greeting's Nava 1974,

In regards to the Authentic 13 Stars and Stripes flag in New London. The Shaw flag is the real deal, look at the flag itself! The flag was unfinished, no hoist, no top tassel section. Did you know Capt. Nathaniel Shaws wife did not even finish her husbands needle point work of his family coat of Arms. The silk needle point showing her unfinished work because she died. Giving her life to save and aid Amerian POW's just off the NY prision ships. The document exists from the the family saying Lucretia Shaw made the flag for Shaw.

Shaw owned many ships in the Rev War. You should check out the accuate documented paintings showing his ships that are flying his PERSONAL 13 Stars and Stripes like the one in New London.

The New London Shaw flag is authentic NAVA 1974! The family document saying Lucretia Shaw did make the flag and the society has that document. The Shaw flag is unfinished and so is the Silk needle point she was working on for her hubands coat of arms. The coat of arms that shows 3 urns. I am sure you saw that in New London. Have you ever seen Rev War documented paintings of Shaws personal ships/privateers showing the same exact flag flying off the top mast. In the 1789's Shaws brother just happened to have another commissioned painting showing the same flag flown on a shaw ship!
