ludwigh1980 Posted June 15 I'm thinking post civil war as well. Possible 1880-90 time period and while the belt plate and keeper are military I am thinking the belt was made up for civilian wear or at least state militia. Seeking Model 1895 and 1902 Named Officer coats as well as Spanish American War Tropical Uniforms.Also pre WW2 marine uniforms. Always pre-1945 Colorado National Guard Items wanted! Also seeking Rhodesian Uniforms and Gear used by Americans in the Rhodesian Security Forces during the Bush War (Africa).
