3rd Cavalry, New York State Militia "German Hussars" Flag with Regimental Bit
21" x 24", double-sided. Blue silk with highly detailed images heavily embroidered with silk thread and gold bullion. Border of flag adorned with 2" cream-white fringe. Flag depicts an armed hussar in full regalia astride a white horse with drawn saber, against an open sky with a border of oak leaves backed in green velvet and acorns. Opposite side reads " 3.d Reg't/1st TROOP/NY/GERMAN HUSSARS ", also surrounded by oak leaf motif. Both sides of the flag depict at the top portion of the fly an American ragle with flags on halberds, and the lower portion with a shield with German red-white-black tricolor. Lot also includes curb bit with 1.75" regimental insignia, consisting of " NYH " surrounded by a belt with thirteen stars.
Rallying to the Union cause in July 1861, The German Hussars, Company C of the Third New York Cavalry under the command of Captain George W. Sauer. A pre-war militia formed mostly by German immigrants, the regiment did not see active service, mustering out in November of that year.
Lot also includes letter of authenticity signed by Howard Michael Madaus.Very good overall. Most of the flag retains a deep blue color with some fading of sky, turning a light blue and cream color. Some thinning present leading to small holes. Embroidery remains mostly fast to the flag with minimal fraying. A fine piece of early Civil War history that should be of great interest to any New York or Cavalry Collector.Condition
