Description

United States Flag Used in "Sands of Iwo Jima." This U.S. flag with 48 stars was used in the 1949 war movie Sands of Iwo Jima starring John Wayne, which told the stories of the Navy corpsman and five marines who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi, one of the most iconic images of World War II. The three who survived the battle, Rene A. Gagnon, Ira H. Hayes, and John H. Bradley, appeared in the movie opposite Wayne. In Fine to Very Fine condition with some areas of moderate tanning and a few very small moth holes. A great conversation piece. Accompanied by COA from L.A. Prop & Wardrobe Co.
