ACCOUTREMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES INFANTRY,
RIFLEMEN, AND DRAGOONS, 1834-1839, by R. T. Huntington:
One of a series of well written, heavily researched
volumes covering many areas of US military collectables,
this paperback volume is a detailed reference which
covers the accoutrements in use during an often
underreported and under appreciated period of US
military history.
This 58 page paperback covers all of the primary
accoutrements – belts, belt plates, cartridge boxes,
bayonet scabbards, and saddle holsters - issued to the
early soldiers. The pieces are well described with
historical notes and references, features, special
fittings, and markings, and each model is shown with
detailed photographs or diagrams.
This ex-libris soft bound copy is in very good
condition, inscribed to Steve Dorsey from the author,
and shows very little sign of use or wear, and no
damage. There are some passages which are highlighted as
Dorsey researched some of his books. (0914) $15
