Description
Extra-Tall Bodied Forage Cap with Corps Insignia. This beautiful condition, commercially produced forage cap has a hand-cut, red XII Corps badge sewn in an appealing manner in the center of the crown, above a small ½" silver numeral "3." The original chin strap is affixed with small staff officer buttons and the visor is bound. The cap rises nearly 7" at its highest point, giving it a dramatic, jaunty appearance overall. Although showing genuine use, the black silk interior is sound, with the quilted top bearing the gold imprint of Benjamin H. Stinemetz, a Washington D.C. hatter whose firm's name also appears on the cap of General George B. McClellan.Auction Info
