Civil War uniform jacket Henry Archer 26th Ohio Light Artillery Battery, more

Civil War uniform jacket of Henry Archer, 26. Fresh from an estate sale near Cleveland, Ohio, this is a standard regulation artillery shell jacket, enlisted grade, with clear Cincinnati Depot markings in the right sleeve and the name H. It is accompanied by several original reunion ribbons for the unit including one pinned to the left breast as shown. The others were inside the pocket. Other than one small torn section on the upper right chest that looks like perhaps a burn of some sort, overall it is in fine condition.

Several of the buttons have been reinforced with a newer thread but all appear to be from the correct era. There was also an original image with the ribbons of a Union soldier wearing a shell jacket which has a backmark of Springfield, Illinois, but there is no name on it. It may or may not be Henry Archer. Records (included) reflect only one soldier in that unit by that name.
