Of all regimentally imprinted covers, this is probably the one I encounter most often. It's very common and, therefore, not as expensive as other regimentals. It is, however, a desirable envelope for a few reasons:

1. The 79th was a hard-fought regiment in the Army of the Potomac and one with a tremendous amount of history.

2. There's a lot of crossover appeal with this one as collectors interested in Scottish-American history find anything associated with the 79th to be a "must have".

3. The design of the cover is so attractive and displayable.

This particular envelope is in excellent condition with light soiling from age and very minor evidence of mounting on the back. Again, mounting residue is not considered a drawback because these covers were so widely collected by the families of Civil War soldiers and by veterans.

I got this one at a great price. So can you!

If you have a friend or family member who is all about being Scottish AND is a lover of Civil War history, don't pass up this super gift idea!
