This flag was flown as the first shots of the war for Independence were fired on October 2nd, 1835.  Rustic barnwood framed antiqued Gonzales Flag of Texas also known as the Come and Take It Flag. This reproduction historical flag of Texas is antiqued then stretched by hand here in Texas and mounted in a distressed barnwood frame. A great museum quality reproduction for your home or office. These are made to look old and vintaged with tea-stained dye. All hand machine made so therefore, no two flags will look the same.
