This is an original 1832 Pattern Infantry officer’s gold bullion hunting horn insignia. It measures approximately 2.5” x 2” with a black background and gold bullion and sequins. The 1832 pattern embroidered hunting horn was authorized for the tails of infantry officers’ coats. These remained regulation in the regular army until 1851 and remained in use much later in militias.

The open bugle horn, sometimes called the stringed horn, appeared as a cap ornament on the regular army shako from 1832 to 1851, with some made of white metal. It is possible, however, that an embroidered device like this may well have made its way onto militia headgear, depending on the unit’s regulations for uniforms.

Black painted cloth backing. Very fine, unused condition.  [jet][ph:L]
