LOT OF CIVIL WAR ARTILLERY UNIFORM JACKET AND POST-CIVIL WAR RED KEPI.

LOT OF CIVIL WAR ARTILLERY UNIFORM JACKET AND POST-CIVIL WAR RED KEPI. The jacket is a standard Civil War contract U.S. Artillery short jacket. It conforms to the uniform regulations with 12 small buttons down the single-breasted front, 4 on the collar, and two at each cuff. The jacket is decorated in red worsted tape according to regulation. Interior body lining is missing. The sleeves are of white linen, the left having its original sub-inspector’s stamped marking. CONDITION: Fair. This jacket, likely, surplus from Bannerman’s, has seen some hard use either through use as a re-enacting uniform or a costume house. Red worsted tape has been replaced on each cuff and repaired here and there. All of the buttons have been re-sewn and one 4” and one 6” tear has been repaired on the back. It also appears as though additional decorations were once added to this jacket but now removed. It still makes a nice and colorful appearance. The kepi of red wool dates to the period 1875-1890. A bold label in the crown is stamped in silver: M. SLATER / Band Instruments & Military Goods / 42 Courtland Street / New York. Body and crown of the kepi are of bright red wool. Visor is tarred leather with edge binding and the black leather chinstrap is held in place with two, cuff sized, Georgia State Seal buttons. Interior is lined with a brown polished cotton material with drawstring. CONDITION: Good. Sweatband is missing. There is slight wear and some age discoloration. Visor is beginning to separate from the kepi and the chinstrap is missing one retainer. 4-50697 CW12 (900-1,300)
