ORIGINAL 19TH CENTURY OFFICERS GOLD
BULLION HAT CORD – NICE COMPLETE SPECIMEN IN VERY GOOD
CONDITION: Of the style worn by US Army
officers from the mid-1800’s through the end of the
century, this set of gold bullion officer’s hat cords
has survived in very nice condition.
The full length cords show little wear, with no fraying
or separation as is normally seen, and they are complete
with the matching bullion slide and both acorns at the
ends of the cord. While the bullion has the expected
tarnish, there is still quite a bit of glint and sparkle
remaining and this set will display quite well on your
campaign hat.
These officer’s cords, due to the nature of the bullion,
appear to have survived in far fewer numbers than did
the enlisted men’s cords, and examples in the condition
of this set are scarce indeed.
