<< 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.
