CIVIL WAR UNION OFFICER’S SLOUCH HAT OF THE 28TH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY. This is a very rare piece of American Civil War headgear. This black felt officer’s slouch has an embroidered 28th Infantry hat insignia on front, officer’s hat cord, ostrich plume and a star inside a star Corps badge. This Corps badge is quite rare designating 12th and 20th Army Corps. Edge of hat is bound in 7/16” cloth binding. Interior of hat is red silk with a” Rochet, Paris” maker’s label. Lining is bound by a 2-1/4” patent leather sweat band. The 28th Pennsylvania was involved in most major battles in the East including Gettysburg and later in the Atlanta campaign with Sherman. CONDITION: Hat overall is very good. Silk lining is excellent with only minor fraying and wear to the label. Sweatband is soiled but complete and intact. Sewn silk edging is frayed along edges but is mostly intact. The number “2” in hat insignia is loose. Plume is excellent, but a possible replacement. 4-30529 JS26 (18,000-24,000)
