A Field Drum of the 41st US Infantry - Rice's St
<B>A Field Drum of the 41st US Infantry - Rice's Station Against Longstreet</B></I> This wonderful field drum of the 41st US Infantry has a spectacular spread-winged eagle with the federal shield and ribbon painted on its shell. While it has seen much use in the field, the drum is rugged and striking in the image that remains with the ribbon bearing the designation '41 Reg. US Infantry' in the eagle's beak.<BR> At 16 1/2" in diameter, the drum's upper head is in good condition with no tears. While the bottom head snares are present, the head skin is torn across the diameter of the drum. On the opposite side of the regimental eagle is an elaborate design of brass tacking where the snare tension brass is still present. The ropes are present as are the seven leather tighteners. Made of highly-grained maple, this drum is very distinctive in appearance with some flaking of the painted image and tension wear at the rims. The drum comes with a pair of period mahogany drumsticks. <BR>The 41st US Infantry under Colonel Llewellyn Haskell fought admirably at Rice's Station where they engaged Confederate General James Longstreet forcing his withdrawal.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Other (oversized items, group lo (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
