Civil War Cavalry enlisted man's shell jacket
About as nice as you'll find and appears to be an issued jacket.  All buttons present and original, no mothing or damage, marking inside sleeve are difficult to read but size 2.
64/G Regiment & Company insignia on the collars.
A textbook example of a scarcer Cavalry shell jacket!
$1,500.00
A note about the insignia.
When I find a Civil War shell jacket or forage cap with brass insignia, I pretty much assume it's been added by a collector for display.  That's certainly acceptable and doesn't add or detract from the value and does add to it's displayability. Unless attributed, there is simply no way to know for certain if brass is wartime or post war applied if it's been done correctly.
BUT notice that it's a one piece numeral 64 not a 6 and a 4. That's a pretty tough piece of insignia to find and would, as far as I can determine, attribute it to only one unit, the 64th Pennsylania Cavalry.
