Item Details
Description
Regulation Confederate Officer's Frock Coat of Lieutenant William Allen Hanger, Company E, 1st Virginia Cavalry. Cadet gray wool with yellow wool facings on cuffs and collar. Single gold bullion quatrefoil braid on each cuff, two gold bullion bars, designating the rank of 1st lieutenant on the collar facings. Hanger originally enlisted on April 19, 1861 in Waynesboro, Virginia and was elected 2nd lieutenant on January 2, 1862. On April 22 Hanger participated in a charge at Catlett's Station, Va., led personally by J.E.B. Stuart, and was wounded in the right arm. A period repair on the right arm of the coat is apparently the result of that wound. The wound never fully healed and Hanger was assigned to the Invalid Corps. He was later captured at Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864. Hanger was "esteemed by his comrades" and characterized in battle as "absolutely fearless"

All buttons are Federal eagle staffs with Extra Quality backmarks and are original to the coat. The coat exhibits a number of repairs to moth damage (exclusive of the repair to the bullet hole in the arms which is clearly earlier) , including replacement of the lower portion of the left skirt. Very well done and the coat displays beautifully. Accompanied by a four page letter of authenticity from noted Confederate uniform authority Les Jensen. An impressive Confederate frock coat with an excellent history.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:72050

Second Chance Offers: Heritage does not make Second Chance Offers. Once our auction ends, if you receive a Second Chance Offer to buy this item DO NOT accept the offer. Please forward any Second Chance offer emails received on one of our auctions to eBay's Safe Harbor Department.
