Flag Component: The flag features a swallow-tailed shape design printed on a rectangular tile, consisting of a solid yellow (gold) field with a white swallow-tail cutout design at the fly end to simulate the physical flag’s trailing shape. Centered prominently on the yellow field is the official United States Army Armor branch insignia, featuring a green Mark VIII tank superimposed over crossed sabers. 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 Armor 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 insignia combines the historical heritage of traditional Cavalry (crossed sabers) with the firepower and mobility of mechanized armored warfare (the tank). Yellow (gold) and green are the official, traditional branch colors for the U.S. Army Armor Corps. The guidon bearer holds a position of great honor within an armored company, tank battalion, or cavalry troop. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic American armored division camps, World War II to modern tank units, or building block mechanized military dioramas.
