Chums,
Just this past Monday, I measured up an original SA infantry Jacket ID'd to a Daniel P. Byam. This was the only SA Infantry jacket they had ( that was brought up on the computer of their inventory). This jacket was lined with a white dommet flannel and had a red silk Signal Corps Flag sewn in on the right breast lining of the coat. There were no SA stamps, just three dots in each sleeve.
Anyhow there is another coat which is in the Oklahoma State Museum, this coat was worn by an Officer, as evidence of the shoulder straps, and there was velvet added to the inner collar. This coat had a jean wool lining in it. And the SA stamped in the sleeves.
The other in EOG, was part of the old Stamatelos collection, and had the Signal Corps insignia on the sleeves.
There is another coat out there ( collection unknown to me) that had a checked lining in it. It is the coat that Chris Daley Copied, does anyone know what collection this coat is in, and also have any photo's of the original?
On a side note, this is an interesting piece of equipment, of the surviving originals, 1 was worn by a signal corps soldier, the other by a Cav officer, and I would love to know what the provinence of the third coat.
Im guessing this coat may be the other one pictured in EOG arms and equipment of the union. Anyhow any information on this third SA infantry Jacket would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Casey Osgood
