Flag Component: The flag features a swallow-tailed shape design printed on a rectangular tile, consisting of a solid orange field with a white swallow-tail cutout design at the fly end to simulate the physical flag’s shape. Centered prominently on the orange field is the official United States Army Signal Corps branch insignia, featuring two crossed signal flags (one white with a red center, and one red with a white center) accompanied by a vertical flaming torch. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures these distinct military details.

Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit guidon bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in military dioramas).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates a United States Army Signal Corps Guidon. A guidon is a small, swallow-tailed flag historically carried by military units to signify their unit designation, branch, and presence in the field. The crossed flags and torch insignia represents the Signal Corps, the branch responsible for military communications, information systems, and routing networks. The crossed wig-wag flags historically represent the semaphore signaling methods used during the American Civil War, while the torch represents knowledge and illumination. Orange and white are the official, traditional branch colors for the U.S. Army Signal Corps. The guidon bearer holds a position of great pride within a signal company or battalion. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic American military camps, command posts, or modern building block communications unit dioramas.
