ken1967 Posted May 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2022 I was finally able to pick up one of my bucket list CW items this week. This is a private purchase Union kepi popular with senior NCO and officers. It is often referred to as a McDowell style kepi by collectors. It's in really good condition and looks great displayed with my CW Union shell jackets. No insignia on this one or indications that insignia was stitched or pinned to it. The buttons are general service buttons, so it would be appropriate for an EM or NCO of any branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M24 Chaffee Posted May 14, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2022 Very nice looking forage cap! It’s great to get an item on your bucket list. I love ACW forage caps and I’m sure this looks great with your collection. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwigh1980 Posted May 14, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2022 Great original Civil War piece is superb condition. I wonder if it was some of old Bannerman's surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
