Jeff Davis hat pin

[nyiangelo]

I recently bought one of these. Supposively it was part of Bannerman's surplus, which is a really cool story if you havn't read about it. Anyways my google fu has run weak and i can not find how these got their names. I know Jefferson Davis was the president of C.S.A. but nothing else about the pins. Would like more info on the pins and how they got their name. thanks...........
