VERY RARE AND UNIQUE G.A. CUSTER SIGNED CDV AS “LT. COL.” 7TH CAVALRY.

We can find no other images signed by Custer as Lt. Col. in the 7th U.S. Cavalry. This rare CDV listed by Katz as photographed March 1876 as K-149V has the interesting imprint “General Custer” however, Custer signs with his correct rank of Lt. Col. which is unknown on any other photograph, as far as we know, other than this single card. This is the only known time Custer signed CDV’s as Lt. Col. Custer held the rank of Lt. Col. in the US 7th Cavalry at time of his death, his highest rank in the regular Army though a Major General in the Volunteer Army during the Civil War. If you want the rarest and only CDV signed by Custer with his rank in the 7th Cavalry when killed at the Little Big Horn, this will probably be your only opportunity. CONDITION: Card is good to very good overall, scuffing and soiling. Contrast is good and inscription dark and easily discerned as seen in photographs. 4-54833 JS96 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 1439
