Back strap is inscribed in period script “Theodor G. Glaubensklee 7th Regt. N.Y.S.V.”. Preliminary research disclosed that Theodor Glaubensklee enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant in April 1861 into H Company New York 7th Infantry. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant August 1861 and became Adjutant on 8/16/1861 and resigned 10/1/1861.
