This is a reproduction of the 8th and 19th Consolidated Arkansas Infantry Regiment flag and has a light, aged appearance. It is designed to look like the original preserved flag appears today (not as it would have appeared during the civil war). The actual dimensions are not exactly the same as the original flag. The artwork is visible on both sides, and the lettering reads correctly on one side only.
