From eBay. This guy must have been a good cook or at least very proud of his work. I flipped the image to "right read" for easier reading of his impressive forage cap.

Re: Best use of cap brass yet!
It reminds me of that Steven Segal flick where he is in the navy and the ship he's on is hijacked and the crew held hostage by terrorists. Segal plays a busted SEAL that serves as a cook on board. As he is kicking ass and taking names the terrorists ask ..."who is this guy?" His response is..."I'm just the cook"Last edited by Mcguire; 02-25-2009, 07:03 PM.David Parent

If a guy showed up at an event with that, he wouldn't get past the registration table. He'd be labeled a farb.Joe SmothermanComment

I think everyone should pitch in and buy Charles Heath a replica of this cap. He's probably cooked for 90% of us that attend good events.Joe SmothermanComment

Hallo!
I don't think it is hat brass.
I think the lad was a confectionary sutler and molded "hat brass" out of white sugar as a treat for the troops.
But I could be wrong.
