C.S. Navy Department Circular
<Our item number 86074><B>C.S. Navy Department Circular.</B> An ultra-rare circular from the C.S. Navy Department, Office Provision and Clothing, 1p, 10¼&#34;x8&#34;, Richmond Va., 1865 Feb. 6. An addendum to navy regulations as authorized by Act of the Confederate Congress on January 19, 1865, stipulating clothing allotments to serving midshipmen. Signed in type by James A. Semple, Paymaster C.S. Navy and S.R. Mallory, Secretary of the Navy. Very good; minor staining does not affect legibility.<BR><BR>The Confederate Navy was created by act of Congress on February 21, 1861 and was organized along the lines of the old United States Navy, 231 Confederate officers having resigned from service in the former. No official provision was made for acting and passed midshipmen until the Amendatory Act of April 1862. Until 1865, commissioned officers were expected to outfit and supply themselves. Unlike their army brethren, Confederate sailors never lacked for food or basic clothing, but they were cash poor, a problem that was never satisfactorily resolved. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-1,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 86074<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/33jpegs/086074.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
