kyhistorian01 Posted August 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2017 I am attaching some photos of a badge and buckle found by local man with a metal detector near new Albany, Indiana. can any one tell me what it is for. I was told it could be a shako plate or hat badge from around 1900 to 1905 era. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted August 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2017 I think this is much more likely a chevrac badge which was pinned to the point of the saddle blanket. Check out the link for a better explanation of the badge. BTW- there is an image that looks very similar in the article. http://www.emersoninsignia.net/files/Download/20Chevracs.pdf Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
