The cuff buttons are functional. Tight cuffs, lovely 6 point staff stars on tails, detachable somewhat worn major general boards, one star is slightly different than the others, having a blue ool backing. Not replaced, period done for sure, slilghtest of velvet seperations on a couple spots on the collar. SUPER rare coatee, came into federal use in that format in 1832 and changed in 1848, so its Mexican War for sure, this is guarnateed to be Federal coatee, buttons in groups of 2 per regs for a general. ON HOLD, SORRY! PHOTO PHOTO PHOTO PHOTO
