Re: Interesting blanket roll
That guy was "hardkewl" and didn't even know it!! Trousers rolled for a studio shot and everything...so "core!" Actually, it does give a nice shot of the bottom-lining of his trousers.Originally posted by RyanBWeddle
How long will it take to see someone walking around with their blanket like that?? Forget the toothbrushes and tobacco pouches in the bottonholes...I want to see the "Pipe in yer' cap" fad!! :shades_smLast edited by CJSchumacher; 02-25-2004, 05:30 PM.Comment

This is another possible mis-marking by late-19th C. archivists!
Check this out; his belt buckle plate is marked "Sixth NG"

Nope! SIXTH NG, the "NG" is in cursive and is typical of the period New York National Guard plates and buckles...
The term "National Guard" was used by several early war New York regiments.... see p.7-8 of Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms
Another reason for the "Sixth" is that he is from the sixth company of the 7th Reg't. Now that I remember, some of their pre-war gear was numbered by company...Last edited by RyanBWeddle; 02-25-2004, 07:46 PM.Ryan B.Weddle

Re: Interesting blanket roll
I believe his haversack is is being worn with the flap against his hip. I have seen another photo showing the haversack being worn to the INSIDE so to speak.[SIZE=2][B]Mark Mason[/B][/SIZE] :cool:
