Gentleman, I am reaching out for help in expanding the Span-Am exhibit at the Museum of Military History which I curate.
Our Display only features one original khaki issue infantry coat , a few period photos and a Teddy Roosevelt portrait .

I'm hoping to add a US Volunteer Blue woolen or flannel shirt , campaign hat , perhaps a web belt to dress out a mannequin.
Replica is OK , perhaps your closest has shrunk those items.  What have you ?

We are a non-profit, open to the public , I can not offer funds, I can provide you with a Donation form  ( income tax ) or Temporary loan paperwork....

We are also looking to expand the Buffalo Soldiers & Indian Wars display .....

I have donated , my War of 1812 ( Tecumseh Movie props & Costuming ) and Alamo the Price of Freedom items, Costuming & Art etc.  , that has filled the gap we had between the Rev. War and the WBTS.

I will gladly provide you photos of your items when they are displayed , and you are most welcome to come visit the Museum.

Thank You

Captain Obvious Here,

Why not measure the center to center dimension on your 76 and compare it an 86 or 94. Actually, if you post your dimension, some helpful lurker here may post the dimensions off of one of their rifles.

It looked like you were't getting any help here so I jumped in.

Rev. Chase

We do have a challenge coin collection   


John you are very kind  thank you, You and the Mrs. need to come over... I'll be in Saturday all day

Thanks for the post Pitspitr.  Since this was an "excerpt" was there any mention of the guns used on this hunt in the rest of the story?  Were they still carrying percussion plains rifles?  Or perhaps did they have 50-70 Sharps, Rolling Blocks, or Needle Guns?  Or something else like a Springfield musket that was selling cheep on the used gun market?

Inquiring minds want to know,
Dave
