CONFEDERATE BATTLE SHIRT.

CONFEDERATE BATTLE SHIRT. You are bidding on a fabulous relic from the Battle and siege of Port Hudson Louisiana. This battle shirt made of homespun Confederate linen or cotton as seen in photographs. This shirt is in remarkable condition showing only scattered age and soil spots. All seams seem tight. All glass buttons are original. Large front pocket. Similar shirts seen in photographs. This shirt has a great old tag which reads as follows, “A Rebel shirt made of rebel cloth and bought by Joe Pray with hardtack the day after the capture of Port Hudson”. History tells us Port Hudson did not fall until after Vicksburg. The only reason Port Hudson gave in was because of the severe lack of resources, especially food. We have only seen one identified Confederate battle shirt offered previously and it was sold by this firm in October 2007, lot 1505. CONDITION: As described above. 4-35226 JS21 (6,000-8,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
