Unidentified Soldier in Union Frock Coat and Hardee Hat With Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber and Colt Army Model 1860 Revolver (U.S. Civil War) This depiction represents an unidentified Union soldier during the U.S. Civil War, dressed in a frock coat and Hardee hat, armed with a Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber and a Colt Army Model 1860 revolver. The Union army adopted the frock coat uniform, introduced by General James Z. George Hardee, as its standard dress for officers, while enlisted men typically wore a more practical sack coat or blouse. The Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber was a versatile sword used for both cavalry and infantry during the Civil War, while the Colt Army Model 1860 revolver was one of the most widely issued firearms to Union troops. This figure serves as a symbol of the Union army's diverse equipment and uniforms utilized throughout the American Civil War (1861-1865).
