He returned to the regular army and served as Captain of the 3rd US Artillery from July 28, 1866 until 1877 when he was promoted to Major of 1st US Artillery. Cased pair of epaulettes and sash appear Civil War era, though they are shown with Majors insignia. It just goes to show you that soldiers maintained their rarely used dress epaulettes and just changed the rank cushions (as his Lieutenant insignia are still in the box. There is a later cased pair of Russian knot epaulettes with correct Major insignia for 1st US Artillery, maker marked "Shannon Miller & Crane" on both insignia and japanned box. The model 1860 staff and field officers sword is in fabulous condition made at the Springfield Armory and US inspected. It is very unusual to see etched presentation on regulation sword blade "CAPT. E.R.WARNER 3RD US ARTILLERY". This sword dates about 1870. There is a facsimile framed photograph of Warner from his West Point graduation. PROVENANCE: From the personal estate collection of John W. Armiger Jr. CONDITION: Sword is in fine condition retaining most of its original frost on blade with minor staining. Custom stand for sword also displays fishnet weave sash of unusual design through the middle. Civil War era epaulettes are fine in original Japanned tin case. Loose 1877 epaulettes are very good overall. 49055-175, 49055-192
