Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring a solid green field, representing the primary branch color of the Military Police. To replicate the physical swallow-tailed shape of a standard military guidon, a white triangle cutout is printed on the fly end (right side). Centered prominently on the green field is the distinct golden/yellow Military Police Corps insignia, which depicts two crossed Harper’s Ferry Model 1805 flintlock pistols. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific military detail.
-
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 standard 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 your brick scenes).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the official guidon of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. While military police functions have been part of the Army since its inception, the crossed Harper’s Ferry pistols were officially adopted as the branch insignia in 1922, along with the official branch colors of green and gold. The Military Police Corps was officially established as a permanent, separate branch in September 1941, just prior to the U.S. entry into World War II. A guidon featuring this exact design would be carried by an MP company or detachment to represent the unit’s presence, authority, and rally point in both garrison and combat environments. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic military checkpoints, base command posts, or building block historical battlefield dioramas.
