Here is a great looking display piece. It is an original Indian War shako helmet that is set up with both new and old parts to display as a Rare Indian Scout Dress Helmet. The hat body and vent are original and the front plate also appears to be original . The "candy cane" red & white horsehair plume, braided cord front & back, plus shoulder cord with waffles and tassels are all more modern made. Each of these pieces fluoresce under ultraviolet light which lets us know they are more modern made. The brass eagle has the Indian Scout insignia as do the side buttons. There was a complete original one of these that sold in 2020 for $5,000, you can own this one for $395.00.
