Item Description
Original Item Only One Available. This is a United States Model 1850 or M1850 Militia Coatee. We believe it dates from the early period of the Indian Wars as the inside tails are a green-black not a solid black like the later issue examples. This Coatee is fort the 7th New York Militia Regiment with multiple names written inside the on the lining.
The front of the swallowed tail jacket has 9 rows of herringbone pattern ribbon going across, with only the brass buttons down the center being functional (one of these 9 is missing) and two more rows on either side being decorative. There are 18 more shiny brass buttons on the swallow tails and sleeves, and two more buttons on the stand up collar. All of the buttons read "EXCELSIOR; NATIONAL GUARD" with the initials N.Y.S.A. inside a banner in the button design. All buttons are back marked.
The jacket is lined with a machine quilted lining of a light color. The swallow tails are lined in black, and contains a secret pocket in one of the tails. There is a fair amount of hand stitching the finish work of the lining.
Overall condition is very good.
