This style of infantry insignia was meant for use by officers but it can be seen on headgear from all ranks. Units from New England seemed to favor these privately purchased Infantry insignia.
The horn is made of stamped brass and meas. approx. 2.50 inches wide. The stamp used to make this insignia had lines cut into it to give the body of the horn the impression of being embroidered.
This one is a dug example with some gilt still remaining in the low areas. A look at the reverse shows that it was repaired in three spots. Repairs were well done and are not readily visible from the front. Reverse has only the remains of one hook.
Insignia was recovered at Fredericksburg. [ad] [PH:L]
