Description & Condition:
This uniform belonged to a Captain of the 108th Regiment, US Cavalry Corps, Georgia Army National Guard.
This uniform has a very rare M1921 Sam Brown belt manufactured by the Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot circa 1922. I have never seen one dated other than 1922.
All of the accoutrements are original to the uniform. For some reason, the Campaign hat has a Cavalry Yellow Campaign Cord instead of Officer Campaign Cord. The hat is interesting with a M1926 Georgia Hat Insignia. The hat has a ton of “mothing” on the back of the hat. The mothing is only on the back of the Campaign Hat thus it still displays well.
There is mothing on the collar and light mothing throughout.
The coat is an 8 out of 10, belt is 10 out of 10, breeches are 10 out of 10, & Campaign hat is a 5 out of 10.
This is an extremely rare Georgia Cavalry uniform.
