Description
Near Perfect Example of United States Army "Dress" or Uniform Coat of the Civil War. As called for in the 1861 Uniform Regulations, this example of the "single breasted frock coat of dark blue cloth" is piped at collar and cuffs in sky-blue for infantry. It retains all nine of the original brass general service buttons on the front, two at the back and two smaller ones at each cuff (one missing). The sleeve lining is an attractive brown/white checked material and has only the number "54" stenciled in one arm. In the back of the collar is sewn a small period white tag with the otherwise unknown soldier's name "A Drake" written in ink. The coat is in superb condition with only a few barely visible moth nips.Auction Info
