Army Blanket Identification

[cwbuff]

This Army blanket is one of three that I inherited. They were used by a First Lieutenant who first served in Texas as a member of the Mexican Border Service in 1917-1918 as a member of the 174th Infantry, New York National Guard out of Buffalo, NY. Later he served in France during 1918 in the 356th Infantry, 89th Division, American Expeditionary Force. Two of the blankets I was able to identify as Specification 1204 (1914) and Specification 1255 (1917).

I don't know much about Army blankets. This blue-gray blanket I can't identity. I think it is a pre-1904 blanket (Span-Am War, Indian Wars, or Civil War), but I don't know. It is unmarked without stripes. It could even be a German blanket brought back from Europe. It is approximately 5' by 7'. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks!
