Leatherwringer Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I just picked up this large hat badge and would like to find out more. The gentleman told me that it was from a great Uncle and he supposedly was a Zouave. He stated that the family had his uniform for a long time, he remembers seeing it as a child but it was thrown away years ago by a family member. Any help on a ID of this is appreciated. By the way, I bought the item not the story....... Link to post Share on other sites
Lee Ragan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looks like an Infantry shako plate, probably from the 1850's or so. Link to post Share on other sites
