1851 Troop B, 2nd Dragoon Regiment Shako

An 1851 pattern Dragoon shako with nice, 20mmbrass Eagle “D” Dragoon buttons. Showingits age. Thick leather visor hashardened and the yellow orange trim shows wear and discoloring from age. A few small moth holes on the shell and top. Inner stiffening shell has been taped on therear seam (possibly original) sometime in the past and is splitting (Seephotos). I believe all is originalexcept for, possibly, the eagle plate (Not sure, though. Just doesn’t feel right to me.). Remnants of a black cloth liner under thesweatband. No markings of any kindinside.

I havetried to describe, and show, all features of the shako in my pictures. I'll let you be the judge. The brass is worth thestarting price.
