This design was instituted in 1858 for enlisted man's headgear. The looped hunting horn had been in use by the US military since 1839 and went through a variety of sizes and styles for both officers and enlisted men. The standard pattern 1858 was die-struck bras with tow brass wire loops soldered onto the reverse for sewing to the headgear. Generally they were 3 1/2 inches across but manufacturers weren't always precise with minor details. This example had three solder scars on the reverse for attaching to the headgear. Excavated in Virginia.
