Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fine example of a Civil War Union Officer’s Cap Device featuring a wreath surrounding a “U.S.”. This insignia has recently come to market after being found in an old family bible in a New England estate.
The device is the typical style as used during the Civil War, and worn on all versions of headgear worn by Federal Officers during the war. The insignia is embroidered on a dark blue wool with fine bullion embroidery in gold and silver. The workmanship is second to none, and the condition rates as excellent, only showing signs of mellowed patina from being in storage over the last 150 years.
Measures approximately 1 ⅞ ” x1 ½ ”.
This is an excellent piece to add to a Civil War collection as is, or to add onto the classic Civil War Officer’s Kepi or Slouch Hat if one so desired. Ready for display!
