M1858 forage “bummers” cap
The classic piece of Yankee Civil War regulation Federal enlisted headgear! All original, dark blue wool, complete and solidly stitched. The tarred leather brim and leather buckled leather chin strap are excellent with eagle brass side buttons.
The leather sweatband is complete and the interior lining near complete. There are several moth nips to the wool surface but overall the condition is far better than what I generally see offered for sale. The interior crown features a clear paper maker’s label reading
“M. & G. / No. 7. / N. Y. / Maker.”
Thomas Murphy and William Griswold were hatters in NYC from 1862 thru 1865 and had contracts with the US Ordnance Dept. for army forage caps.
