20th Tennessee hat badge?

[cobytreadway]

I am looking to put together an impression of the 20th Tennessee and I have read several references about this particular regiment having some kind of bage on their hats with their regimental designation inscribed upon it.

Has anyone out there seen any real images of these? All I have seen is the one that is painted in the 20th Tennessee infantryman painting by Don Troiani.

Also, does anyone know a vendor or someone that might be able to recreate these badges?

Thanks,

Coby Treadway

There is a picture of one in Silvia and O'Donnell's book- American Civil War Relics? (I think this is the title). Try the North-South Trader magazine for the correct title. Hope this helps.
