US Army // Finance Corps / Co. D, 24th Rgt
Army 24th Finance Company Guidon + Drinking Streamer
This is a nice, original guidon for Detachment D, 24th Finance Company, plus a streamer for what I was told was a company drinking flag.

21" x 27" Guidon is made in gray and yellow cotton and is double sided. There is no spec tag, but I am guessing this is no more than 15 years old. Has some minor soiling in a few spots, but otherwise looks like it was never used.

The streamer is 24 1/2" long and is single sided, with white satin stitching on a sky blue cotton base, and reads "One Year No DUI's". The streamer does look like it has a little fading from use.
