This Historical Reenacting item is from a smoke-free home and smoke-free environment.  Very well taken care of and from a personal collection of historical re-enacting uniforms and costumes.  This is clearing out of some left over costume and re-enacting items from a recent TV Movie film shoot.

Very, very Nice Reproduction Civil War U.S. military issued ORANGE Colored SILK Waist Sash as worn by Dragoon officers.  Never used, NEW and clean.

Overall, 90" long (not including the tassles).  Approx.  4 1/2" wide.

In 1835, the Regiment of the U.S. Dragoons began exploring and setting up outposts in the newly acquired Iowa Territory along the Des Moines River, including Fort Des Moines (established by Capt. James Allen, but abandoned in 1846) and Fort Dodge. Major western outposts were established at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Scott on the Missouri River and staffed by dragoons. Lt. Col. Stephen Watts Kearny replaced Col. Henry Dodge as commander of the 1st Dragoon Regiment in 1836 and subsequently was promoted to full colonel. The formation of the 2nd Dragoon Regiment was commissioned by President Andrew Jackson for involvement in the Second Seminole War of 1836. As company commanders in the 1st Dragoons, Captain James Allen, Co. I, and Captain Philip St. George Cooke, Co. K, each led army expeditions into uncharted areas such as Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. When the 1st and 2nd Dragoons were converted to the 1st and 2nd U.S. Cavalry units during the Civil War, the term dragoon was dropped, although it still cropped up in army terminology even in modern times.

A great uniform piece for living history, films and re-enacting, and a steal at this price and great looking.

Buyer pays shipping and I do combine shipping on multiple wins.  Please check out my other listings of historical costumes, items and DVDs.  Happy bidding and wear in good health.  I'm happy for bids outside of the USA, but there would be a higher shipping coat which I will invoice for.
