The Lincoln assassination flags

[loetar44]

Two American flags, each on a staff, were placed at either side of the box and two others were draped on the balustrades. The blue regimental flag of the U.S. Treasury Guards was suspended at the center pillar on a staff.

   

I’ve a few questions. I understand that three U.S. flags were used to decorate the box, but why two different Treasury Guards flags? ? Were the three American flags 36 star flags, or 35 star? Which was the flag Booth tripped over and catching his spur in his escape? One of the American flags has bloodstains. Which of the three was that flag? Was this Lincoln’s blood and came it on the flag because it was used to cushion Lincoln's head? Some suggest that Lincoln pushed a flag aside to watch the performance. Which flag? Did Lincoln grasp a flag after being shot. Where are the five flags now? I suppose they are on display somewhere….
