  • Interesting blanket roll

    I know it's a studio shot, but still an interesting concept.

      Great image Scott. Truely a fine set of whiskers on that man to boot.

            That guy was "hardkewl" and didn't even know it!! Trousers rolled for a studio shot and everything...so "core!" Actually, it does give a nice shot of the bottom-lining of his trousers.

            How long will it take to see someone walking around with their blanket like that?? Forget the toothbrushes and tobacco pouches in the bottonholes...I want to see the "Pipe in yer' cap" fad!! :shades_sm

                    Okay, let's get beyond the obvious and down to the nitty gritty !!!

                    This is another possible mis-marking by late-19th C. archivists!

                    Check this out; his belt buckle plate is marked "Sixth NG"

                    WHOOOOOOA!

                      Of course you mean "Sixth NY".

                        Nope! SIXTH NG, the "NG" is in cursive and is typical of the period New York National Guard plates and buckles...

                        The term "National Guard" was used by several early war New York regiments.... see p.7-8 of Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms

                        Another reason for the "Sixth" is that he is from the sixth company of the 7th Reg't. Now that I remember, some of their pre-war gear was numbered by company...

                          I believe his haversack is is being worn with the flap against his hip. I have seen another photo showing the haversack being worn to the INSIDE so to speak.

                            Sgt Cozzen's name doesnt appear on the NPS CWSS system site, but the Sixth Ny National Guard does. 1863, 30day unit.

                              Maybe it's just me, but it has a post war flavor to it. Were the NYNG units armed with 1861 Springfields early in the war? (Personally I think it's and 1863 Springfield, and converted to the Allin Trapdoor .50-70 configuration.)
