This style of infantry insignia was meant for use by officers but it can be seen on headgear from all ranks. Units from New England seemed to favor these privately purchased Infantry insignia.

The horn is made of stamped brass and meas. approx. 2.50 inches wide. The stamp used to make this insignia had lines cut into it to give the body of the horn the impression of being embroidered.

This one is a little smaller than those usually encountered. It has a nice dark patina from age and storage. The reverse has two of the three attaching wires.

This is a nice example of this Civil War insignia.
