Serapis Flag Sewn Nylon 3×5 ft. (Made in USA)

Beautifully hand crafted. Made in USA. Serapis flag. US Historical flag. This flag is a custom, made-to-order flag of tough, durable and long-lasting nylon fabric. It is fully hand-sewn, look closely at the stitching.

This nylon has the highest tensile and tear strength of any flag you will find, with excellent strength retention under UV exposure, and high resistance to UV fading. The colors are deeper and brighter that last over time, with better wash-fastness and light-fastness than nylons of similar fabric construction. This is a sewn flag, not printed. The grommets are solid brass.

The Serapis flag is also known as the “Franklin flag” due to the description given by Ambassador Franklin. It was featured on a 33¢ postage stamp issued in 2000, as a part of the US Postal Services’ Stars and Stripes series. The stamp was titled “John Paul Jones flag.” The Franklin Flag is also recognized by the United States Army as the official flag of the 111th Infantry Regiment, which is known as “The Associators”, and was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1747.

Serapis is a name given to an unconventional, early United States ensign flown from the captured British frigate Serapis.
