Non-Excavated Civil War Infantry Hunting Horn Hat Insignia / SOLD

Non-Excavated Civil War Infantry Hunting Horn Hat Insignia - Inventory Number: INS 423 / SOLD

An excellent original example of a non-excavated Civil War U.S. infantry hat insignia in the form of the iconic hunting horn device. Crafted from stamped sheet brass with a high domed profile, this insignia was designed for wear on the front of the Union soldier’s Hardee hat or forage cap. The central open loop of the bugle would typically hold a regiment number, though this example remains unnumbered—ideal for customization or as a representative display piece.

The surface retains its original untouched patina with minor age toning, and both attachment wire loops remain firmly in place on the reverse. These brass insignia were worn by enlisted infantrymen and became one of the most recognizable symbols of Union foot soldiers during the war.

A fine, untouched example of Civil War headgear insignia, highly desirable for collectors of personal military adornments.

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