Re: Uniform and Accoutrements research

The common Union sack coat issued by the Quartermaster had Eagle buttons with a plain shield. Haversacks were also made by different vendors and while serving the same purpose, had minor differences.

The above site has authentic reproduction Union fatigue blouses (sack coats)and other items for sale. He also has a page dedicated to some of the research he has done to enable him to make these items as accurate as possible. You may find some answers there. I also have a few other items on my web site "Civil War Show and Tell" that is linked on this post.

Good Luck
