“The Battle of Gettysburg, Jul 2 & 3rd, 1863, some of the Troops as they were without blankets…… Edward took this blanket from a dead Confederate Soldier and slept under it.” April, 1903 Sarah K. Bush

Regimental Quartermaster is proud to offer a copy of this exciting CS issue blanket. With a strong provenance to being issued to and used by a Confederate soldier, this blanket was also picked up and used by a federal soldier, making it a very versatile blanket for both CS and US use!

This 100% wool blanket measures approximately 70" by 84", is unfinished (as per the original) and weighs three pounds twelve ounces. The blankets will be unhemmed like the original, but some extra yarn will be included for those who would prefer to hem their blanket (the original blanket had frayed nearly three inches on either end.)

No corner has been cut in creating this reproduction. The yarn has been custom reproduced using actual samples from the original blanket, and the weaving is by Family Heirloom Weavers-the best in the business today! Minute details such as subtle weave changes and shoddy inclusions have been painstakingly reproduced. This blanket has been reproduced with the approval and collaboration of the owner and some of the most brilliant minds in the textile industry today!
