The first and third line are written (according to the Anzeiger des Westens, April 1861) in german Fraktur letters, MISSOURI VOLUNTEERS., as an "american" word, in capital latin letters.
The original flag was lost in the battle of Wilson's Creek, Aug. 10th, 1861. The 3rd MO flag in the Missouri State Capitol bears no inscription whatsoever and might be the replacement given to the regiment.
