Description

Original pre-Civil War artillery cap badge most commonly worn on the early shakos. Pattern 1834-1851, die struck brass with all four loop fasteners intact though I think these may have been added at a later time. Large badge at 3 1/2 inches wide. This piece is rarely found in non-dug condition and most likely survived thanks to Francis Bannerman. Badge itself has some bend to it sol please judge condition for yourself by the pictures. See Fig. 255 in Campbell and O'Donnell's American Military Headgear Insignia.
