huntssurplus Posted February 5, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2021 Wow! Incredible display! Seems like you're house has greater quality items, and displays, then most museums for this period. Do you collect exclusively Indian Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbrown1 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted February 5, 2021 45govt, Great picture - I have passed on two officer buffalo coats since they are private purchase. Looking for enlisted issue. I have only seen one hopefully I will have an opportunity to purchase one to complete this display in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWS Posted February 18, 2021 Share #14 Posted February 18, 2021 Outstanding display! And a Sibley stove to boot! Do you have the specs for the enlisted buffalo coat/ mitts? I have an old coat and a pair of mitts but no way to know if they are military or civilian. Any specifics you have would be a big help. Thanks for posting these.
