- Lot Description
Serving with distinction as the Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac as well as participating in the military tribunal that condemned the Lincoln assassination conspirators, General James Ekin remained in the regular army and continued to serve in the Quartermaster department. After his service in Washington D.C., Ekin was transferred to the Department of Texas to serve as the Chief Quartermaster of the 5th District. Lot includes one silk officer's sash, one pair of officer's epaulets with bullion fringe, two pairs of officer's gauntlets, two officer's hat cords, one set of braces and one pair of Colonel's rank insignia.
Officer's sash measures approximately 109" with a width of approximately 3.5"and 5" long tassels. Colonel's insignia are of the proper type being silver eagles on black staff background and gold bullion edges measuring approximately 4.25" x 1.62" showing no backing. Hat cords are of woven gold bullion with acorns. Epaulets measure approximately 7" x 5.5" with 3" long fringe and have hook and tie attachment furniture.Provenance: General James A. Ekin Family
Very good. Sash has some stains but is free of holes and rips. All tassels are present. Hat cords have a dull luster with some loss of wire. Gauntlets show some stiffness but are mostly pliable with dirt consistent with age and use. Epaulets have an attractive patina with good color remaining on fringe. Bottoms have tears with cotton filling exposed. Colonel's insignia are excellent with a bright color and no loss of bullion.Condition
