Original 1872 enlisted Cavalry hat device. Die struck with four soldered on attachment loops, this Indian War version of the Civil War vintage cavalry device is a bit smaller than it’s predecessor measuring approximately 2 ¾" across. Regulation wear was to be on the front of the forage cap rather than on the crown as was the case in the Civil War. We have acquired a very limited number of these from decades of storage and are offering them here at a reasonable price for the Indian Wars and Cavalry collector who would enjoy an original or the Civil War enthusiast who would like a representative piece for wear or display without laying out the more hefty sum of the earlier model. please note: ALL ITEMS ARE CURRENT & AVAILABLE UNLESS MARKED SOLD!!.
