[QUOTE="Ben B, post: 318959, member: 6469"]Brief update: I found an email affiliated with the American Legion post identified on the side of the flag. It might be a long shot, but perhaps someone will be able to identify one of the flag's characteristics and help me out. I did some research on the post itself and it's certainly very active and sizable. Oldest reference I could find to this particular post was from 1932. If they can't help me with the flag, perhaps they can tell me if they have a history of flying reproduction 48-star flags. I doubt an organization full of war vets would have a hard time finding an authentic 48-star, though. Thank you for giving me your two cents on this matter, by the way. I appreciate it. :)[/QUOTE]
