U.S. Civil War Enlisted Hat & Cap Insignia

    Civil War troops wore insignia on their hats and caps to designate their Branch, Regiment (5/8") and Company (1"). They were more prevalent at the beginning of the war as they became less popular as the war went on. There were made of stamped brass. Our reproductions are duplicates of the originals.

U.S. Civil War & Indian Wars Enlisted Hat Cords

    Civil War troops also wore hat cords on their hats to designate their Branch. They were more prevalent at the beginning of the war as they became less popular as the war went on, although they remained more popular than the hat brass. There were made of worsted wool. Our reproductions are duplicates of the originals.
