Original Item. Only One Available. Now this is a very interesting item that there cant be many of out there! This is a leather bandolier meant to be worn by a flag bearer to carry the staff holding the regimental colors of a unit during the Civil War. The bandolier is entirely of leather construction with a buckle meant to tighten around the wearers waist.
The leather is rather stiff but could possibly be made to fit onto a mannequin. The leather is cracking and crazing much near the bend at the top. In its current state, it measures roughly 28 1/2 long. The stitching around the cup is weak so a staff should not be held in its place. For its age, this piece is in good condition.
A very interesting and scarce piece to have survived 155+ years, ready for further research and display.
