Found Civil War Item

If it is a repop Id say it is a very good one that has been used a whole lot. Realy nice blanket you have there.
 
Welcome. You might check out nearby universities that have textile departments. They can tell you something about the age and wear of the fibers. It's a very nice blanket. Welcome!
 
I have one of those. My great grandfather brought it back from ww1. I'm not sure of the model but I believe it's a model 1903-1907 US army blanket. These are the early ww1 type that the national guards used. Mine does not have the US on it though. It's a keeper and their hard to find.
 
My wife has an old family quilt (100 years+) that has an army blanket used as a backing-I guess that they didn't throw anything away back then.
