I came across this hat on one of the websites I have bookmarked and I was floored. I wanted to share this because they don't get much better than this. Hope the picture works.

Re: Officer's Slouch hat
Now that is a chapeau! Note the variegated gold wire border on the 5th Corps Badge - wonder if it is an aging thing or it was made that way? Thanks Ken!Soli Deo Gloria

Re: Officer's Slouch hat
Comrade,
My Masonic Lodge has an image of one of our members, Lt. Higgins, of the 3rd Maine, in uniform and holding a nearly identical hat. It has a 3rd Corps diamond on the side, and is also rather high-crowned. I'll see if the powers-that-be will let me scan it and post the image here if succesful.
Respects,Tim Kindred
