An old
enameled 19th Infantry Regiment, The Rock of Chickamauga Hat badge. The US Army 19th Infantry Regiment
fought in many Civil War battles and was known as “The
Rock of Chickamauga” due to the Regiments ability to hold off many
Confederate attacks during the height of the battle. The Regiment also fought in the Indian Wars,
WWI, WWII, etc. The enameled badge has no
chips or cracks in the blue and white enamel.
The badge states
“19, THE ROCK OF CHICKAMAUGA”
The badge
is 1 ¼ x 1 3/16 inches in size. The
badge does not have a twist nut on the back screw and otherwise is in nice
condition. Please
see the other vintage items I have listed on eBay. Thanks for looking.
