Scattered mothing, aging, and stains. Overall very good condition. The Richmond Light Infantry Blues had a long and impressive legacy of service to the Old Dominion by the time this antiquated coatee was made for ceremonial purposes. A militia unit organized shortly after the American Revolution, the Blues served gallantly from the War of 1812 through the Spanish-American War. Deployed to France in 1918, the Blues arrived too late for combat service.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing & Costumes (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
