Standard issue dark blue wool shell jacket with red piping on collar and cuffs with red trim down the front and along the edges. Jacket has 12 General Service eagle buttons down the front with two buttons on each side of the collar and two at each functional cuff. All of the buttons appear to have “Scoville Extra” back marks. Corresponding button holes show no wear. All of the buttons appear to have original stitching.

The body of the jacket is in excellent condition. There are little signs of wear and no moth action of any kind can be detected. Back center has both pillows. The piping and trim retain their original bright red color with no loose stitching. All exterior seams are tight. Collar has one hook and eye closure.

Interior is lined with a brown/gray wool material. A pocket is in the left breast, and at the bottom of the pocket opening is the only sign of seam separation. Sleeves are lined with white muslin. Right upper sleeve interior is stenciled with two black dots, a size number “2”, a nice “STEPHENSON / U.S. INSP.” over an abbreviated Cincinnati, Ohio inspection stamp.

This jacket is an exceptional example of a Civil War Artillery shell jacket.   [jet][ph:L]
