But I did some checking. It seems that in no design were the stars always placed 'point up'. E.g. in the Army of Northern Virginia, the flag of 17th Miss had all the stars 'point down'; 18th Ga, the stars were placed 'point up'; 3rd Ark, the stars were placed (by the look) alternately point up and point down, with the centre star replaced by a cartouche containing the legend '3rdArk'. The more traditionally known Beauregard design was equally variable.<br /><br />So you can't go wrong really. I like the deliberate mistake idea, though. I am reminded of Middle Eastern carpet makers, who will always include a flaw in their product as an act of humility. Annoying 'rivet counters' seems as noble a motive.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-46002870129011359152013-10-31T17:55:16.732+00:002013-10-31T17:55:16.732+00:00Like the nonchalant Officer !Like the nonchalant Officer !Mosstrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744308664219116701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-89139290935406356852013-10-31T17:54:07.588+00:002013-10-31T17:54:07.588+00:00Err Tim
