This hat device is a very nice example of a Civil War Infantry officer’s hat insignia. Device features a French horn adorned with tassels. Constructed of embroidered bullion thread, this is sewn on a black wool backing. Very small, false embroidered “42” pinned in center loop of horn. This insignia is in very good condition with the exception of a moth hole near the mouth piece of the horn. Wool rectangle measures about 2” wide x 1 ½” high. This piece shows a pleasing patina.

A fine specimen of a Civil War Infantry officer’s hat insignia.  [jet]
