RARE 7TH CAVALRY MODEL 1872 ENLISTED MAN’S DRESS JACKET.

RARE 7TH CAVALRY MODEL 1872 ENLISTED MAN’S DRESS JACKET. This rare dress coat is constructed of high-quality dark blue wool with yellow wool facing or corded edge trim, all of which has now turned a buff color. It also includes 23 gilt eagle Horstman buttons, 9 down the front, 4 in the rear, 3 on each of the two cuffs, 2 on the belt loops & 2 on the shoulder straps. This fine and rare coat was at one time out of the collection of noted Custer author, scholar & collector Glenn Swanson and is pictured on pg 13 in his book, Custer and His Command. It is very rare to find an 1872 Cavalry dress coat with all the hand-stitched cording still intact throughout as soldiers often removed most of the cording or it simply came off as they campaigned. CONDITION: Coat generally in very good condition. As indicated, yellow trim has turned a buff color. There are some nominal moth holes. The interior quilted lining with some soiling and a few small tears, together with a hole caused by wear. In general, however, the overall coat is in very nice condition. 4-35861 JDJ (8,000-10,000)
