Here is a fantastic US Regulation size uncut or unaltered Infantry Civil War eagle drum. Measures approx 16 x 16 inches. Head skins are 100% original and unreplaced as so many you see are. The top head skin is wonderful with a nice well used look with the bottom skin broken but complete. The rope is original as so many have replacement ropes. The leather tugs are present except for one missing. The manufactures label is complete and reads "C. & F. Soistmann, Manufactors of all kinds of drums, No. 458 Dillwyn St., Philadelphia."
