Original U.S. Pre-WWII Named 3rd Cavalry Division Officer’s Uniform Coat - Captain J.M. Shelton MG 34 Feed Assembly The hilt and cross guard

The hilt and cross guard are made from two pieces of cast brass

however the cylinder markings have been completely removed

but giving the Sergeants a 39" barrel Brown Bess a full 3" shorter than the Infantry's 42" or 46" Brown Bess was deemed a great advantage

Due to wear we were not able to find any markings on the cylinder

with just a bit of staining and age toning

This is a lovely example on an Inter War period 1926 Pattern US Army winter service uniform coat. The coat is named on the inside pocket label to a Captain J. M. Shelton, with a date of August 1924. We believe this date to be when he enlisted, as this style coat wasnt adopted until 1926. The condition is phenomenal for the age and only has minor wear and age toning present, truly a beautiful example! The period
