Originally a city militia unit raised in 1774, members are now part of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. They have a website at http://www.ftpcc.com/FTPCC/History.htm

The best way is to use Image Shack, there's a discussion on the forum that gives some pointers http://pickelhaubes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=969

Sadly the closest some cities get these days is the street gangs that show their colors!
