Description
Fine Officers Slouch Hat with New Hampshire History. This soft, black felt officer's slouch hat has all the hallmarks of a Civil War classic: wide brim bound in gros-grain silk, black and gold officer hat cords, tall crown and deep crosshatched leather sweat band. The hat is attributed to Captain Asa Bartlett, Co. C, 12th New Hampshire Vol. Infantry. Bartlett joined the unit as a 22-year-old musician in August, 1862 and mustered out as a Captain in March, 1865. The unit served in all the major battles of the Army of the Potomac as part of the III and later the XVIII Corps. The hat is in beautiful condition with only a couple minor stains and part of the blue silk lining missing. A great representative example with an interesting history.Auction Info
