This is a nice pair of Civil War bridle or headstall rosettes. These are stamped brass, circular, domed with two steps and given a raised, entwined “USA” on the top. The reverse of each is fitted with a brass staple to mount it on the leather straps of the headstall of the horse. These are considered to be for US artillery, not being mentioned in Civil War regulations for U.S. cavalry who, before the war were in theory provided with rosettes bearing regimental numerals and company letters, but are not specified any in wartime ordnance manuals.

This is a nice pair, still on an old display card with a handwritten description. The card shows some tears and the brass has an aged, untouched, unpolished tone. The entwined USA likely dates these to 1863 when the entwined USA rosettes on the artillery bit were introduced.  [sr][PH:L]
