Which of the following is NOT a part of the Guidon?

The flagpole base is not considered a part of the guidon itself. A guidon typically consists of specific components that are integral to its function and design, such as the lower ferrule, staff connector, and spearhead. The lower ferrule helps secure the guidon to the pole, the staff connector attaches different parts of the flagpole together, and the spearhead is the decorative piece placed at the top of the guidon. The flagpole base, while necessary for supporting the entire flag structure, is separate from the guidon components themselves. Thus, it does not fall under the defined elements that constitute a guidon.
