“Jeff Davis” Hardee Hat Insignia

Description

“Jeff Davis” Hardee Hat Insignia

Original stamped brass “Jeff Davis” or Hardee Hat eagle insignia used to pin up the side of the Army felt dress hat. Brass surface has an even mellow gold patina both loops are present and firmly affixed to the reverse. This is an excellent original example, many on the market are reproduction examples or turn-of-the-century copies with incorrect affixing attachments.  Very nice example.

Comes housed in 6 x 8 riker display case with red velvet and descriptive card.
