Item No. 4539847

Regulation brass crossed cannon hat insignia worn by Union artillerymen. Authentic dug condition with an uncleaned, dark earthen patina. Displays slight bending across the cannon tubes and light rim wear from ground pressure, but retains solid structural integrity with crisp barrel mouldings and details. The reverse shows the solder footprints where the original brass attachment loops were set, but are no longer present. Measures 3 1/4” long. From the estate of a Texas relic hunter, though the location of the insignia’s discovery is unknown.
