Flag Component: The flag features a swallow-tailed shape design printed on a rectangular tile, consisting of a solid buff (light yellowish-tan) field with a white swallow-tail cutout design at the fly end to simulate the physical flag’s trailing shape. Centered prominently on the buff field is the official United States Army Quartermaster Corps branch insignia. This intricate design features a blue eagle perched on a wagon wheel (containing 13 stars), all superimposed over a crossed sword and key. 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 Quartermaster 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 intricate eagle, wheel, sword, and key insignia symbolizes the Quartermaster Corps’ vital mission of providing logistical support, supply transport, and material management for the armed forces. Buff is the traditional and official primary branch color for the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps. The guidon bearer holds a position of great pride within a supply company, quartermaster battalion, or logistics detachment. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic American military base camps, supply depots, motor pools, or modern building block logistics dioramas.
