 c. 1861 Tiemann Field Amputation Set Evaluation

This Tiemann set is not a part of this collection, but was sent to me for evaluation in 2008 by the family owner, whose great-great grandfather was a doctor in the Civil War and the set has been in the family ever since.  This makes it a good learning experience because you know some dealer has not added parts or substitutions.  This is an excellent example of an early War set as stipulated by the Union Army Medical or Hospital Department, but is not marked for either department.  However, there is no doubt it is military in origin.
