REGULATION CIVIL WAR ENLISTED TROUSERS. Enlisted Civil War trousers rarely come to market. Most Civil War soldiers continued to wear theirs after the war and these common issued items therefore are quite scarce. This particular pair are all orig and complete in every regard. The belt lining shows a mark of “2/SA” which stand for size 2 and Schuylkill Arsenal in Philadelphia. These pants have all regulation features, including a hidden button fly, adjustment notches on cuffs and on back of waistband, two front pockets and watch pocket on right. All tin buttons are retained, including those for suspender use. The sky blue Kersey wool is in overall good condition with good color. Trousers are unlined, however pockets and waist lining are of heavy cotton. Regulation trousers were made for infantry and cavalry, the only difference being in reinforced seat for the cavalry. This pair do not have the reinforcements, so are regulation for an enlisted infantryman. SIZE: Size 2, 41″ long(waist to hem) and waist is approx. 29″. CONDITION: Overall good condition, a couple seams slightly loose, including broken stitch inside watch pocket. Pants exhibit scattered mothing especially on left leg where there are three 1/2″ holes.
