(July 2012) Enlarge Union First Lieut. Coat with Red Officer of the Day Sash This is from the display case at the Olustee Battlefield Museum. Most of the museum uses sunlight from the windows so you will notice a glare near the chest of the officer coat. Also on display is a Sharps Carbine.		(July 2012) Enlarge Butt of Sharps Carbine & 52 Cal Linen Case & 1857 Cent This view taken on July 9, 2012 shows a closer look at the display case from the lower left side. A portion of the Union 1st Lieut. Officer coat is visible. An 1857 "Flying Eagle" penny is also visible in the scan. The heavily worn penny appears more like a slug, but the outline of the flying eagle can be determined.
