Antique M1902 Post CIVIL WAR Cavalry Blue/Gold Coat ~Mandarin Collar ~ RARE:
$295.00

This is an ORIGINAL and RARE post Civil War (Turn-of-the-Century) M1902 coat. It is a U.S. Army Cavalry (Infantry?) Dress Blue Tunic enlisted man\'s issue. The content is DARK BLUE wool, lined with black cotton and some muslin. The lining, although hard to show, is in excellent condition.

This coat has RIMLESS EAGLE & SHIELD buttons as follows: 6 large front closure and also 8 smaller matching buttons on the sleeves (3 each), and 2 on the Epaulettes. They are marked Horstmann, Philadelphia, which dates them from 1893-1935; all are non-rimmed with edging.

The gold piping is on the stand-up collar (aka Mandarin-style collar), epaulettes,  and 3-1/2\" above the sleeve bottoms.

There is a tattered label that can\'t be read. I assume the size is about a 36. It measures as follows:

Shoulder to shoulder - 14\"

Armpit to armpit - 17\"

Length of sleeve - 21\"

Back neck to bottom - 25\"

Condition: There is a hole at the right back shoulder that is 1/8\"x3/8\" which is the worst problem. Some of the gold or yellow piping is rough at areas. And I\'m sure there are moth holes; hard to see because of dark color. Otherwise, this coat is in very good condition for its age. And, a RARE find to be sure! (Not to mention the price is not much more than a Reproduction.)

Note: Please see my others items--all purchased from the same FSSF Vet. Obviously, he couldn\'t have worn this coat, but it may have been his father or grandfather.
