Custer items for sale? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Civil-War-Tunic-Belt-Buckle-Canteen-Uniform-Custer-Infantry-7th-Calvary/302630442189?hash=item46762e14cd:g:qK0AAOSwiqFaek6C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custer1 Posted February 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2018 Amazing story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwigh1980 Posted February 11, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 11, 2018 Especially since the shell jacket, though an original civil war produced piece, bears costumer property stamps. Maybe Custer rented it and due to some unforeseen circumstances couldn't return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiques Posted February 12, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 12, 2018 Rough shape on the shell jacket. Big hole in the waist and the yellow piping looks almost white when compared to the liner. Don't see the advertised Custer connection adding any premium to the parts. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted February 13, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 13, 2018 The only proof you have is the owners word. Get a notarized statement or some sort of legal document stating the lineage. Do a rearch on ancestry to see if there is a relationship. But someone above said that there is a costume stamp in the jacket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted February 13, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 13, 2018 They are not Custer's items (enlisted gear), so I don't even see a reason to go through the trouble of the ancestry/ notarized statement. Accepting the word of the seller, I don't put a premium on items belonging to a ggg nephew of someone famous. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
