Original U.S. Seminole Wars Era Model 1824 Bell Crown “Tar Bucket” Shako French Flags I wanted to fully equip

I wanted to fully equip them at the factory under army supervision and cut the necessary 2 months by 2 or 3 weeks

577 caliber ammunition which was readily available all over South Africa

It looks like this helmet may have been issued to another division before this

Also perfect for any re-enactor or just for a militaria collector

Now this is an extremely rare and rather lovely M1824 Bell Crown. Although a portion of the eagle is absent, the overall condition is unusually exceptional. This style of hat was in use during the 1821 1835 period. This is a very nice U. S. Militia bell crown "tar bucket" shako. Used by regular forces as well as militia units from 1820 1835. This very original example has a portion of the front eagle insignia missing
