If you search here on Pinterest. there is an "oval" example that looks to be the identical hat badge you have recovered. So totally COOL!

Nice piece of history!

 

[Carolina Tom]

That’s a sweet piece of history. I don’t recall seeing one of those before. And in such nice condition, for 200 years old.

Congrats on an exceptionally recovery.
