Complete Uniforms and Gear

Hey All,

New to the forum. After two back to back heart attacks, my soldier days are over. I'll still be int he background helping where I can but I can no longer do the really fun stuff. So here is what I have to offer. These are lightly used and well taken care of items, none of which are more than 3 years old. These items are just worn enough to look good. I would like to sell the entire set. Leave a message if interested or if you need more info.

Thanks

Shell jacket sizes, maker and condition would be helpful for a prospect in our unit who might be interested. Thanks.

If you decide to break up the package and sell the items seperately I am interested in the following:

1 Confederate prayer book (charelston 1863)
1 Blue wool covered white strapped canteen

I do hope that you get it sold as a package but I know that can be hard. Let me know a fair price if you go that route.

Thanks.

Hey Thomas,

Thanks for the interest. The Shell Jacket in a size 40 and the considtion is good. No holes, or stains, lining is intact, bottons could use some shinning. As for the maker, I do not know. From what I can gather it is a type 3 shell jacket. It was purchased from CSA galleries here in Charleston. The Union Jacket was purchased from Fall Creek.

Thanks again!
