Click image to enlarge
Offered is a stamped brass Hardee or Jeff Davis eagle device. This one is the rare style with a soldered on brass loop for holding up the Jeff Davis hat's wide brim. The overall condition is mint with 100% of the original gold wash on front and back as well as both of the original loops attachment to hat. This was one of the large group of these that came out of a Maine estate and was originally purchased from George Lower in the late 1970's. A very rare piece of insignia and a top notch quality item.
Offered is a Civil War cavalry crossed saber insignia from Bannerman's. The attachments are refurbished on the back. A great uncleaned patina is present with just hints of gilt on surface. A good looking piece of insignia.
Offered is an early militia style shooting medal. A solid silver hunting horn with shield in center measuring about 2.5" in circumference. Inside the shield is beautifully inscribed in block letters "PRIZE" and in script "Field Day, June 27th, 1835." The medal still retains the original swivel loop for a ribbbon that would have been suspended around the neck. This piece was manufactured by a Philadelphia Silversmith. Just a great piece you do not find very often if at all.
