CAVALRY FARRIER BRASSARD:
A like new original Indian War Period US Army Cavalry
Farrier (Horseshoer/blacksmith) Brassard. As the number
of Farriers per regiment was limited, this is a
relatively scarce insignia. Worn on the upper sleeve of
the soldier's uniform coat, this piece is one of the
more attractive insignias of the Indian War period. As
directed by U.S. Army General Order 54, 1888, “Farrier
Chevrons: A horseshoe of cloth, four and one-half
inches long, and three and three-quarters inches wide,
worn toe uppermost.” The combination of Dark Blue,
Yellow and Blue Gray wool creates an attractive piece
and makes for a nice addition to your collection. A
scarce, complete unissued, unused brassard with no
damage or moth holes. $75
