This is a rare original Civil War era VMI Coatee uniform jacket, a valuable non-dug relic from the era of the American Civil War. The jacket bears historical significance as a piece of militaria from the time when the South was fighting for its independence. Coat is fully intact with 44 VMI coat size buttons with D.Evans backmarks judging from the buttons this should date from 1865 to the reconstruction era, it does have some loose stitching and some light fraying and very light stains but overall very good condition for age, these are exceeding hard to find especially in this condition.
