Original Spanish-American War U.S. Captured Spanish Hat Cockade with Infantry Button

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very scarce captured Spanish cockade off of an officer’s hat, taken by an American soldier during the Spanish-American War. The cockade measures 2 ¼ x 2 ⅜”.

Captured items from the Spanish-American War are difficult to come by due to the short-lived nature of the war and lower numbers of troops as compared with WWI and WWII. This is a great souvenir taken from a Spanish officer which shows the patina and wear of a true wartime captured piece. Comes ready for further research and display.
