Preppy Picker Posted August 8, 2022 Share #7 Posted August 8, 2022 By the looks of the maker name it’s late 1800s. The buttons are definitely US so this should be in the US military forum and not here. You might get a better answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted August 9, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 9, 2022 I agree that this should be moved over to the US Forum. Provide photos of the back of the buttons when you post it over there. The style and manufacturer could help narrow down the time period. It appears to me to be a 1870s-1890s militia uniform. The "CG" could stand for "Charleston Guard", "Columbia Guard", etc. Being that the kepi is from a California supplier, I would look into militia units along the west coast.
