Early Civil War shako


Recommended Posts

Seems like I am on a Civil War run right now. Oh well that is the stuff I have been playing with lately.

This type of Headgear was worn in the early period of the Civil War by 4 different outfits.

The 62nd and 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry &

the 49th and 72nd New York infantry units

Very nice shako. Everything on it has just the right amount of even age/wear you'd expect to see on something that old.
