Regulation example of an M1821 American infantry officer's "tar bucket" shako, circa 1820-30. Tarred black finish over pressed leather with original silver braid, leather stacked rosettes with silvered "I" infantry eagle button, white wool elongated pompon, silvered scales, eagle rosettes, eagle, and visor with original green paint underside. A nice representative example of this pattern. CONDITION: Very good. Leather shows some heat crazing. Shako retains its original distinctive arched back shape.
