This is turning out to be a very good thread. Lots of good detective work, and obviously some good detectives. Some good practical collecting advice , and folks helping each other out. USMF at its finest.  mikie

I am not a native, Who were his people and ask an elder of his tribe.

I do not think that is a KIA head stone. Everyone who has served honorably and has been  discharged as such earns the right to a military burial. 

I have no idea, I was stumped by that ad well? Maybe a special marker for Native Americans if they didn’t have a traditional religion?

The VA's Emblems of Belief Site states that it represents the "Native American Church of North America"

That’s got to be it!!!! How did I not realize that? It was in plain sight! Who do you recommend I go to? Bugme? Vintage productions?

What is that symbol?

Not ticks, Arrows!!!! I have seen them on Navajo and Apache items. Gear run this past an elder for a a second opinion and thoughts.

What a marvel these gloves, a true classic, and what a shape!! Fabolous indeed.   I gave away my very small collection of Cavalry gloves almost four years ago, prior to deciding once and for all that a full-size Sergeant from around 1891 - 92 would have been feasible, after all... so, no gloves being left. Luckily I found out a very good pair, much likely privately purchased from civilian sources, that follow the basic features of typical riding gloves. They and the rest (12 items in all) are awaiting for a mannequinn that till now didn't surface out yet, due to some precise reasons   -   hoping being able to do the thing shortly, given the amount of time and efforts I've put into the project through the years. All the stuff is original, with the two items not military-issued being the said gloves and a Native-made knife sheat.

Just noticed the 'swords' are 'Cutlasses' so not officer. Billyh
