Rare Fenian flag to fetch $70,000 at auction

Who is the collector that bought it???

The word 'Fenian' reaches beyond this flag. In Northern Ireland it was a derogatory term for a Catholic. And still is among strident Loyalists. They spat on the pavement as we passed. Adding the word associated with being illegetimate. Unprintable here.

Anglesboro is a small village at the foot of the Galtee Mountains, in south-east County Limerick, Ireland. It is a relatively small community with one shop. Its most famous son was General Liam Lynch , Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army, March 1922-April 1923. He was born at Barnagurraha and went to school at Anglesboro National School. He was shot and killed by Free State troops in the Knockmealdown Mountains in County Tipperary on 10 April 1923. His death was seen by many as the event which ended the civil war. It is quite fascinating that a flag from 1867 carrying the name of such a small community, but would be a community that would produce such a famous son as General Liam Lynch.

I am surprised to see Anglesboro on a Fenian flag instead of Gleann na gCreabhar.
