CAP AND COLLAR INSIGNIA, ENGINEER SOLDIERS, 1851

_USNM 61618. Figure 49._

[Illustration: FIGURE 49]

The 1851 uniform regulations called for a "castle of yellow metal one

and five-eighths inches by one and one-fourth inches high" on both the

coat collar and the hat of "Engineer Soldiers." This specimen, struck

in brass, conforms exactly to the descriptions and drawing in the

Horstmann publication of the regulations.
