CIVIL WAR REGULATION KEPI RAIN COVER OF LIEUTENANT C. H. RAYMOND, 121ST PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

CIVIL WAR REGULATION KEPI RAIN COVER OF LIEUTENANT C. H. RAYMOND, 121ST PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY. Approximately 15” high, this regulation tarred linen kepi rain cover in excellent condition was part of the 2nd Lieut. Raymond grouping, but is being split out and sold separately due to it being such a unique and rarely offered item. The rain cover is designed to cover the soldier’s kepi hat and neck. It includes two correct 7-1/2” “shoe string” closing ties. A small, attached period pencil note included is marked “This covered cap when it rained – Civil War -.” This is a very rare item that really belongs in any collection of Civil War headgear. Similar examples are shown in the book, Echoes of Glory, Arms and Equipment of the Union by Time-Life Books, p. 189, and also described and shown in the book U.S. Army Headgear: 1812-1872 by Langellier and Loane, p. 110. CONDITION: Very good overall, with minor staining and small debris stuck to tarred surface. 4-32924 JS256 (1,750-2,500)
