Civil War Period Civilian Breast strap

Description

Breast straps were not an issue item, but there is plenty of documentation about breast straps.  Many soldiers used an additional surcingle as a breast strap. Others, on both sides, confiscated civilian tack and other equipment from farms or merchants when and where they could find it. Offered here is a common period pattern, copied from an original I recently examined, it was obviously "confiscated" and used with the period saddle with which it was recovered .
Do not be confused with tack shop knock-offs, this item is an authentic copy of a period item, hand cut, hand dyed, and hand sewn as were the originals. Top quality American harness and period correct hardware throughout.  No international bidders please. Most item ship UPS next day, Paypal please, No more authentic piece available at this price. Please check my feedback, then bid with confidence. These have gotten "HOT" selling about as fast as I can make them. THIS AIN'T NO MUSEUM, THIS STUFF IS FOR SALE!
