HARDEE HAT PIN Battle of Nashville

[Mike N Tn.]

I found this Hardee Hat pin at Nashville TN today. It was found at a Confederate camp we use as a back up site. Three years ago I found the top remains of two Hardee Hat pins at the same camp — Missing the coveted Eagle. I think I went back in time and begged the soldier to not cut the Eagle out of my first complete Hardee Hat pin. You can see where the soldier had started cutting the Eagle out at the top right.

Nice find. Those Jeff Davis (aka Hardee) hat pins are tough to find unbroken.
