<< According to Sauers the flag was returned to Pa and "was installed in the 
new flag room when it opened in 1873."  However, all the flags are now 
preserved in a building (I forget the location in Harrisburg).  You can 
request to see a particular flag by calling in advance.  I have been there 
and they pulled the 128th Pa flag for me.  They also have the flagstaffs 
separate from the flags.

I found the flagstaffs almost as impressive, in their own way, as the flags 
themselves.  Especially those with battle damage and in some cases, 
battlefield repairs.
