Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Federal percussion cap pouch with "US" plaque, identified to Robert B. Robinson, Co. K, 5th Vermont Infantry Regiment.
Cap pouch with outer flap bearing 1 1/4 in. dia. "US" plaque and integral latch tab (significant crazing and surface loss to leather throughout; retains wool and pick). Underside of outer flap inscribed, "R B Robinson / Co K 5th Reg[?] / V[t]." Belt loops, latch tab, and brass finial all present and complete (one belt loop appears to have been reattached at bottom with wire).
Robert B. Robinson enlisted as a sergeant in August of 1861, mustering into Company K of the 5th Vermont Infantry Regiment the following month. As the regiment engaged in heavy battle at Savage's Station on 29 June 1862, Robinson became one of its many casualties. He was recorded as captured and wounded on the day of battle, and was subsequently paroled on 22 July. He was thereafter discharged for wounds on 20 October of the same year.
