As this article notes in the first paragraph: "This flag is quite unique in that it is a textile constructed as a flag, yet it was never meant to fly. Instead, Patton's Third Army Flag is a commemorative piece containing insignia from each of the 56 Units and Divisions of Patton's Third Army."

Okay, not a fly-able flag, but perhaps of interest regarding the "conservation" of a cloth flag.
