Chuck In Oregon Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 This is from the collection of the artist I mentioned in The Lounge. If I recall correctly, it is a Civil War Nationalist officer's uniform.

Scott Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Nice set! The embroidery work on the collar and cap look to be very nice quality.
