Michael Phillips, GGG Grandson of
Pvt Edmond Phillips, 44th NCT, Co E, "The Turtle Paws"
Mustered in March 1862
Paroled at Appomattox C.H. Virginia, April 15, 1865
"Good, now we'll have news from Hell before breakfast."
Was Gen Sherman's response upon hearing the capture and execution of 3 reporters who had followed from Atlanta, by the rebels.
The execution part turned out to be false. Dagg Nabbit!
looks correct to me, including the way the top is constructed. All metal and screws look right too

2nd Va. Cavalry Co. C
Stuart's horse artillery
I agree with Gary, from the photos it looks like the real deal.
It looks legit, but it appears that the copper sheathing is missing from the top of the chest.

Thanks for spotting this.
Attached three of those pics for posterity in this thread after the thing sells. The under lid markings and interior segments are of interest.
