REGULATION CIVIL WAR UNION MAJOR’S FROCK COAT.

REGULATION CIVIL WAR UNION MAJOR’S FROCK COAT. You are bidding on a coat with classic wartime features such as large, almost 10″ bulbous sleeves with 5-1/2″ fully functional cuffs. The very dark blue coat is double breasted with two rows of 6 staff buttons, back marked “Extra Quality” with one replacement button back marked “Waterbury Button Company, Extra”. There are also 4 tail buttons and 3 cuff buttons on each cuff. Straps appear original to coat, are single bordered, 1-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ with gold bullion oak leaves. The oak leaves only retain a little of their original gold color, as seen in photographs, they almost appear silver now making you believe it is a Lt. Colonel’s coat but on closer examination you see there is a trace of gold in the oak leaves. This coat has the typical dark green polished lining with one interior lined pocket and two lined tail pockets. You are bidding on a hard to find regulation double breasted Civil War staff coat with all the right features. This coat came out of an estate in Ohio but unfortunately we do not know what Civil War officer wore it. CONDITION: Coat overall is very good with some staining and a few moth holes, the largest being the size of a pencil eraser. Straps have several moth holes and bullion is coming loose on border, as can be seen in photographs. 4-35435 JS41 (4,500-6,500)
