CONFEDERATE INFANTRY ACCOUTREMENT GROUPING. This grouping consists of a belt, Confederate used U.S. buckle, lead finial cartridge box and lead finial cap box along with a wonderful jean cloth haversack. This grouping appears “as found” with scattered paint stains on buckle, belt, cap box and cartridge box. The leather items are in relatively overall poor condition though mostly sound but dry and parts brittle. Cartridge box is missing belt loops, inner pocket, roller buckles and closure tab but retains single 4-compartment bullet tin. Cap box, which is still attached to buff belt, is classic Confederate with lead finial and single belt loop. Cap box is missing closure tab and one ear to inner flap. The haversack overall is relatively good, still retaining metal 4-hole button closure. Strap is broken at top and has a couple of old sewing repairs. Otherwise, haversack is a good displayable, scarce, Confederate object. Also of note on haversack, is that there is an approximate 2″ hole on reverse that has a contemporary sewn repair utilizing a piece of coarse cotton as can be seen in photos. CONDITION: Leather overall is poor, brittle, cracked, crazed and missing various components as described above. U.S. buckle is of early variety with round studs and is in relatively very good, solid condition with good patina and paint stain, as can be seen in photos. Haversack is delicate and very worn with separation on right side at bottom on front as can be seen in pictures and repaired hole in back as noted. Cloth still has good “butternut” color seen in so many Confederate cloth items. 4-44122 JS104 (4,000-6,000)
