1/6th plate of full standing Union soldier in ornate uniform with flume kepi, white gloves, cross straps, stroped on pants. presented in original paper frame. VG. At the time of the American Civil War, the French Army set the style standard for the military world. What better could we do, thought the Americans, than to select the dashing “Chasseur de Vincennes” uniform to send to America. And what a uniform it was! A large shako with a heavy brass front plate; an elegant piped coat with distinctive, silver colored, cast pewter eagle buttons; white gloves, gaiters, and quite possibly the French inspired rifleman’s buckle.
