RARE CIVIL WAR ERA m 1851 OFFICER'S FALSE EMBROIDERED CAVALRY HAT INSIGNIA WITH RICH PATINA - EXC CONDITION WITH ALL ATTACHMENT LOOPS TO BACK!These "false-embroidered" officer branch insignia were offered as low-priced alternatives to the expensive bullion-wire-embroidered insignia. Then and now, commissioned officers have had to BUY their own uniforms, swords/sabers, bel...ts, and other uniform articles. This has been the case throughout US history.
