This shell jacket was used by Dragoons from 1833 through 1850, including during the Mexican War time period. Prior to 1846, the Dragoons were the mounted service until a new branch of service was created, the Mounted Rifles. Both were re-designated as the "Cavalry" branch of service in 1861. 

This shell jacket is made from 20 oz Federal (Navy) blue wool, is lined with muslin, and has an inside pocket. The jacket has a 12 button front of US Eagle 5/8" buttons. The jacket has 2 button functional cuffs, 2 buttons on each side of the standing collar, epaulettes, 2 front pockets, and optional saber belt bolsters (pillows) on the back. The collar trim has double rows of yellow tape. The collar, epaulettes, sleeve, front edge, bottom, and back seams of the jacket are trimmed 3/8" yellow tape.

The optional bolsters were set at the bottom of the rear/side seams and were designed to 'bolster' the weight of a saber belt which carried the pistol and saber of a mounted soldier. The mounted services jackets are typically longer than most other Civil War shell jackets as the belt needed ride above the bolsters.

Standard over the shoulder regulation sling for the 1840s NCO or Musicians sword.  Comes with US Eagle baldric plate attached. Adjustable length by virtue of holes behind the plate. This sling is the reason for the belt loops behind all regulation US Cartridge Boxes.
