Best described here by our illustrations as to condition and eye appeal, this ultra scarce regulation Mounted Riflemen insignia remains in fine, all original condition with an attractive natural age patina that comes to such die struck brass insignia with decades of age. The standing trumpet was used by a single regiment of Mounted Riflemen in the years before the Civil War and into the War's early years. Prescribed by regulation for use by enlisted Mounted Riflemen with the broad brimmed pattern of 1858 Jeff Davis hat, the distinctive insignia saw continued use into the Civil War. Though the Mounted Rifles ceased to exist after August, 1861 numerous volunteer regiments who called themselves rifles in some form adorned their headgear with the standing trumpet insignia. With just one regiment of Mounted Riflemen ever officially in service, this is a very difficult piece of regulation insignia to find in this condition. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
