Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army Field Artillery Guidon Assembly Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop
Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical military dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of a United States Army artillery unit guidon mounted on a pole.
-
Flag Component: The flag features a swallow-tailed shape design printed on a rectangular tile, consisting of a solid scarlet red field with a white swallow-tail cutout design at the fly end to simulate the physical flag’s shape. Centered on the red field are two golden crossed cannons, which represent the official United States Army Field Artillery branch insignia. 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 Field Artillery 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 cannons insignia has been utilized since the 19th century by the U.S. Army to represent its artillery units, serving as a universal symbol for heavy guns and bombardment forces. Scarlet is the traditional branch color for the U.S. Field Artillery. The guidon bearer holds a position of great pride and distinction within a battery, historically serving as a rallying point for soldiers manning the gun lines. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic American military outposts, Civil War artillery batteries, or modern building block howitzer division dioramas.
