Item Details
Description
Civil War Union Captain of Artillery Uniform Including Shell Jacket, Vest, Trousers, and Sash. A very nice Civil War uniform set, classically period in every detail. Nine button front shell jacket of fine blue wool, retaining eight of the original Superior Quality eagle As, missing only the bottom button. Three buttons on each cuff, one eagle A and two general service eagles, which appear to be period replacements. 1" high stand up collar, original, heavily worn, single border, captain of artillery shoulder straps tacked in place. Quilted black polished cotton body lining, white cotton sleeve lining. There is a single interior pocket, lined with brown polished cotton, on the lower left breast. Very fine condition, just showing some honest wear/use, most notably in the arm pits, also some minor fading on the lower sections of the sleeves. Tacked to the left sleeve is a black crepe mourning band, doubtless from Lincoln's assassination.

The vest is blue wool with brown polished cotton belted back and white polished cotton lining. Interior pocket on the left breast as well as two exterior pockets with brown polished cotton lining. The nine button front utilizes bras split rings to hold the buttons in place which pass through hand whipped holes. There are five Scovill eagle As and four Scovill general service buttons, all period. Excellent condition, just some honest wear on the collar and at the arm pits as well as some scattered tiny spots of mothing.

The trousers are of excellent quality medium blue wool with belted back, front pockets with button closure and heavy burlap reinforcing in the cuffs. The trousers incorporate a narrow red worsted wool seam welt. Polished brown and white cotton lining, waist band with what appears to be a hand applied blue diagonal striping (not ticking), brass sew through suspender and fly buttons. A few scattered moth holes and some surface mothing to the knap but generally excellent. The entire uniform is completely hand stitched. Regulation silk maroon waist sash, 3½" wide with 8" tassels with a wooden core, a few small holes and some minor wear on the tassels but generally excellent. A very desirable Civil War officer's uniform in superb untouched condition.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:72241

Winning Notification and Billing: After the FINAL session in this auction is complete, Heritage will send e-mail and snail mail invoices. This process normally takes several days. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.

Second Chance Offers: Heritage does not make Second Chance Offers. Once our auction ends, if you receive a Second Chance Offer to buy this item DO NOT accept the offer. Please forward any Second Chance offer emails received on one of our auctions to eBay's Safe Harbor Department.

This auction will be conducted on a live auction floor and over the Internet through eBay Live. If you choose to place an absentee bid, please take a moment to learn how eBay Live absentee bidding works
