EXTREMELY RARE CIVIL WAR ENLISTED 9-BUTTON ORDNANCE FROCK COAT WITH SILVER ORDNANCE CORPS BADGE.

SN NSN. This wonderful and high conditioned regulation Civil War frock coat is prominently pictured on p.156 of Echos of Glory, Arms and Equipment of the Union Army identified as a “privately purchased…finer quality than regular issue uniforms” and indeed this coat has a quality of the best officers coats with fine polished green quilted cotton lining with internal tail pockets. Coat also exhibits very rare Ordnance Corps buttons with their distinctive device of crossed cannons and bomb with garter reading “ORDNANCE CORPS”. These buttons are finely gilded with “EXTRA RICH, R&W ROBINSON” back marks. Coat retains all 9 buttons in front, 4 on tails and 6 cuffs. Also the coat has attached a beautifully engraved Ordnance Corps pin with T-bar back made from an 1838 dated half dollar. This coat once in the extensive and well known Enlisted Union Uniform Collection of Jimmy Stamatelos may be the only example extant. PROVENANCE: Jimmy Stamatelos Collection. CONDITION: Fine and about as nice as worn Union uniform cloth occurs. Coat has rich dark blue color with only a few small moth or insect holes and nap reductions and tracking from mothing. Lining is intact with minor staining, light fading on edges and a few small reductions. Buttons all appear orig though two tail buttons have been re-sewn. This coat conforms to other Civil War frocks with massive 9″ elbows tapering to cuffs that are about 5″ with plain polished cotton sleeve linings. 4-53771 JS298 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3300
