Item Details
Description
Civil War Union Captain of Infantry Frock Coat with Original Shoulder Straps and Sash. Very fine blue wool construction retain all of the original D. Evans & Co. eagle I buttons, nine on the breast, two on each tail and three on each cuff. 2" high standup collar with black velvet lining, closure effected with two iron hook and eye fasteners. Unhemmed skirt edge, excellent balloon sleeve cut, slightly puckered at the shoulder. Black quilted polished cotton breast lining, breast pocket on each side, draped skirt. Light brown polished cotton pocket bags, white cotton sleeve lining. External skirt pockets also with light brown polished cotton lining. Quintessentially Civil War in every respect. The original double bullion border 2" wide captain of infantry shoulder straps are attached with shoestring ties that pass through hand whipped eyelets. The coat is in excellent untouched condition, just a few mothing pinholes. Clearly shows honest wear, most notably in the armpits and at the collar, 100% intact and very sound. One small, period, repair to a hole by the third button hole, very minor and appears to have been done during the period of use. Classic regulation maroon silk officer's waist sash shows just some minor wear on the tassels, otherwise perfect. Really a classic, early war, Federal infantry line officer's uniform coat in great 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:72242

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.

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.
