Black ostrich feather plume that curves around to the back of the hat. Insignia on the front with gold bullion embroidered infantry horn with separately affixed false embroidered number "104". Insignia shows some looseness to the brass wire along the edge, else perfect. Attached to the turn up on the side of the hat is a beautiful Hardee officer's hat insignia of black velvet with bullion embroidered eagle with wings highlighted with sequins in perfect condition. Both pieces of insignia unquestionably original to the hat. 2 1/8" black leather sweat band that displays breaks and minor losses. Hat is unlined, but a 3" piece of silk is sewn behind the infantry insignia. Hat completely original and untouched. An exceptional example of this extremely rare and most desirable piece of Civil War Union officer's headgear.Auction Info
