Description: In good condition with wear to the case. The cloth spine is worn. Wilbur mustered in at 15/16 years old in 1861. The muster role has him saying he was 18. The paper state who he was and this was taken in 1862 in Washington, D.C. He was 16 by then and he looks like a kid with rosy cheeks. About 250 of his regiment will die in the war, 75% by disease, 2 in POW camps. An unusual dag to have with his 10th legion emblem on the uniform front. I have only seen 1 and it is in a museum. His age and having this identified make it even more special. About MeI am an old school wholesale dealer and have scoured New England, California and Georgia for material.
