To finance the construction of a grand State Capitol, the Texas Legislature appropriated 3,000,000 acres in the panhandle. This became the XIT ranch - the largest fenced ranch, and one of the most famous, in the world. X was for the Roman numeral ten, since the land was spread across ten counties In Texas.

The ranch was operated by a group of wealthy English investors known as the Capitol Freehold Land & Investment Company. This selection is an exact restrike of the exceedingly rare Partnership Certificate and is paired with a vintage photograph of the Texas Capitol–still the largest in the United States and taller than the Federal Capitol.

“Excellent!”

"I have been purchasing beautiful handcrafted historic flags from your company since 1985. These celebrated treasures have adorned my office walls through the years. Thank you for your exemplary products, service, delivery and personal attention to detail."

The Honorable George Chandler, Lufkin, Texas

“Impressive!”

"As an old trial lawyer, I have never had anything displayed in my office that caused more conversation between ally and foe as I have with my flag collection. I have been privileged to have a number of flags from the Texas Fight for Independence created by Gallery of the Republic. It is not an uncommon thing for someone to ask a question such as “how did you get that original battle flag?” They do look that real. The Gallery does great work."
