NON-DUG HARDEE HAT EAGLE INSIGNIA

$100.00 ON HOLD

Quantity Available: 1

Item Code: 490-6479

Regulation 1858 eagle used on enlisted man's dress (Hardee) hat to loop the side of the dress hat up. It was originally introduced in 1851 as a pompon eagle, attached to the base of the pompon holder in the front of the 1851 cap (shako). With the adoption of the hat by the entire army in 1858 the metal plate was reused to loop the side of the hat up.

Stamped brass with two wire loops and a wire hook soldered in place. Brass shows dark patina from where ever it has been stored; perhaps a damp location. Perfect detail with no bends.  [jet] [ph:L]
