WELCOME to Richard R. Gideon Flags.  This page was designed to help you better understand who we are and what we do.  Hyperlinks are provided to appropriate pages that further explain any topic mentioned below.

RRGF sells flags and provides a number of flag related services, but we are not a traditional flag store, and we never inventory flags.  Our primary clientele are museums, reenactors, collectors, families of military personnel, military personnel, organizations and businesses looking to have a flag made or designed, and people in need of special services.  You'll find a subject oriented directory on the home page.  Those interested in historic flags might want to view some thumbnail examples of our work, and listing of generic Confederate National, Army, and Navy flags. Some items, such as 50 Star US Flags, are drop-shipped directly from our distributors.  There are many other features and services available on this web site, so we invite you to look around.  A few other items of interest are as follows:

  • There is generally someone available to help you Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM, Eastern time.  Call the number shown at the top of this page
     

  • AOL USERS: If possible, when E-mailing us please use another service.  AOL's "ANTI-SPAM feature" regularly filters out legitimate businesses.  We often respond to information requests from AOL customers who later claim they never got a reply.  If you must E-mail us from your AOL account then be sure to include a phone number and a good time to call you
     

  • If you would like to send a JPG or other photo to us for a quote on reproduction please E-mail or call first - our system is designed to kick out E-mail with unsolicited attachments
     

  • When sending E-mail please give consideration to the "Subject Line" of your message.  If you are contacting us for the first time do not use "re:" as the start of your subject line.  Unless I know the sender is replying to a message I sent I delete these "re:" messages unopened.  In addition, our system generally deletes messages with such subjects as "Hey", "Got a minute", and other such non-businesslike words and phrases; messages with no subject at all (left blank) are immediately discarded, as this is a SPAMer's favorite trick
     

  • If you are E-mailing for a quote please include the zip code of the shipping address.  You don't have to include the address itself until you are ready to order, but we like to have the zip code handy in order to figure shipping charges
     

  • PLEASE!! Give some thought to what your E-mail message says - We get a lot of E-mail, and I sincerely try and answer all of it.  But a message that says "..I am on your web site"  and asks "..do you make flags?" makes me wonder about the writer's sanity - and writing a detailed reply makes me wonder about mine!  If your inquiry is complicated, and you find it inconvenient to express it in writing, then considering giving me a call instead.  We've helped a lot of people this way
     

  • E-mail sent by us comes from the domain of gideonflags.com through our service provider, Shire.Net, LLC.  We always address you by name (if you have sent it), and never send you attachments without advising you that we would like to do so.  DO NOT OPEN ANY E-MAIL WITH ATTACHMENTS FROM SOMEONE PURPORTING TO BE FROM RRGF UNLESS YOU ARE EXPECTING A REPLY FROM US CONTAINING A PHOTO OR GRAPHIC AND THE DOMAIN IS CORRECT
     

  • RRGF operates with the expressed desire to make a profit; consequently, while I'm more than happy to answer general questions about flags, or help kids, information that requires research or is proprietary is not free
