An excellent original Civil War Union enlisted man's cavalry shell jacket displaying the classic characteristics of an early-war production. Unlike many surviving examples sold as military surplus after the war, this jacket shows honest period wear consistent with wartime service while remaining in remarkably fine condition. The dark blue kersey wool retains an attractive appearance, and all original Federal eagle buttons are present and firmly attached. The jacket exhibits the expected signs of field use accumulated during active service, adding to its authenticity and historical appeal. Original Union cavalry shell jackets with unquestioned wartime wear are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, making this an outstanding example for the advanced Civil War collector or museum display. Another quality Civil War collectible proudly offered by Richard Ferry Military Antiques, Florida's largest dealer in fine Civil War collectibles.
