Cast brass
plate with integral tongue and applied stamped nickel-silver wreath.
Round recess cast into back to even thickness. Use of two rivets instead
of stitching to secure eagle wreath plate. Dates from beginning of 1864.
The “Hanger” providence is reinforced by the rounded interior of the
belt loop and absence of a bench number. Worn by General Phil Sheridan
during Indian fighting days.
Note:
Commonly used for NCO plate by reenactors. Photography lighting does not
allow nickel-silver wreath color to show properly.
