Item No. 9090857

An excellent example of the U.S. Army Pattern 1882 Infantry dress helmet plate, stamped from a single sheet of brass with a sharp strike that captures fine detail in the eagle's feathers, the thirteen stars, and the “E PLURIBUS UNUM” banner. This Indian Wars-era insignia features an untouched, mellow natural gold patina on the front, with the reverse retaining its proper convex shape and two out of its original three wire attachment loops.
