M1879 US ARMY WINTER ISSUE MUSKRAT FUR GAUNTLETS:
Matches the above Muskrat cap and as a set, were issued
to the soldiers stationed at the northern forts.
Displayed together the Muskrat hat and these gauntlets
will make a very special and rare display in your
collection. Again, like the cap, due to age there are a
couple of spots of hair loss, but the impact to the
overall appearance is minimal. All seams are intact and
the hide is supple. The Quartermaster Inspector’s
acceptance stamp is visible inside one of the cuffs on
the red chintz lining. The buckskin palms of both
gauntlets are in excellent condition. $400
