Lining is great looks real to me.

 


 


 

This recently came from Georgia as well and I feel it could be a Rifflemans Kepi.

I have also been told it could be a Confedererate Marine kepi. Any ideas ?

The constructions looks to be of Civil War and it is a green Forage cap also has

a Green covered Canteen. I have never seen one before.

The liner is all hand stitched and looks to be correct for that period.

I think this could be a real Confederate kepi also. The people I got it from

said they didn't have any Yankees in their family.


 

 

 


 


 

 


 


Very old kepi buttons as well Eagle design.

This is a Georgia UCV kepi with Georgia buttons came with a Georgia Uniform

just like a real Confedererate kepi. Could be real.

This superb artifact of Civil War military headgear is a model 1860 french pattern infantry leather Shako that was once part of Lee's headquarters museum in Gettysburg. Used by union troops early in the war, this type Shako was on of 10,000 sets of uniforms purchased from the Godillot firm in Paris and imported for the us market. Issued to the troops with full dress, dark green-black feathers, now missing. Some of the federal units know to wear these Shako's were the 62nd & 83rd Pensylvania volunteers, 18th Mass. and regiments in New York Excelsior brigade.
