EARLY PRE-CIVIL WAR JUNIOR OFFICER’S FROCK COAT USED BY LT. (LATER MAJOR) NATHAN BEAKES ROSSELL 5TH REG. U.S. INF. This frock coat Worn by Rossell during his early military career as a Quartermaster is an 1851 regulation company grade officer’s dark blue wool uniform coat. Of three-quarter length, this uniform frock has a single row of 9 buttons all of which are brass eagle “I” buttons with the early backmark “Ackerman & Minor, New York” (RMDC). Three additional cuff sized buttons are present on each cuff and four on the tails of the coat. This frock coat exhibits very early features such as, nearly, 2” tall collar, narrow cuffs, quilted breast and long skirts. On each shoulder are six sewn grommets for tying on the shoulder strap rank insignia. The interior is lined in dark green polished cotton, pockets in dark brown polished cotton and the sleeves in yellow silk. Tails are unhemmed. CONDITION: Good. This frock coat presents a fine appearance. All buttons are original and match, there are several small moth holes in, mostly, protected areas. The largest hole is adjacent to the third chest button from the bottom. The lining is worn and appears to have been removed from the skirts. This coat shows light wear and no abuse. 4-87578-3 (4,500-6,500)
