Two Indian Wars Kepis
We are excited to announce that we have moved the event to Cheyenne, Wyoming this year, and that we have a great selection of Western Collectables that includes the collection of Roger Wilmot.
Lot consists of two U.S. Model 1872 "Forage Caps" of dark blue wool with bound leather visors.  Leather chinsraps secured by eagle buttons, one example sporting gilt "C" marked branch buttons.  Leather and painted canvas sweatbands with polished cotton lining on both examples.  One has a mostly illegible manufacturer's mark pressed into welt.    Both fitted with cavalry branch insignia, possibly reproductions.
