Civil War Federal Pattern Leather Neck Stock SOLD

Description

This Civil War period Federal issue leather neck stock is an un-issued item. The widest point is just over 2 inches. The stock is held on the neck by use of a small black japanned buckle and leather strap.

A piece of uniform equipment that is believed to provide protection to the neck area and to keep the soldier from drooping his head in formation.  Not a popular item and discarded by many of the soldiers unfortunate enough to have been issued this stock.

Although un-issued dryness has caused the finish on the leather surface to wear off around the edges and other areas.  It can be treated and can be improved upon.
