Indian Wars Native American Bow & Arrow Uniform Badge ?
This intriguing relic was sent in 1976 to the Smithsonian Institution for possible identification. Their experts were unable to reach any conclusion as to its origin or age. So, after decades in the hands of a collector, this item is finally going up for sale. The design is a Native American style bow & arrow. It is composed of brass tone metal, with impressed designs and details on front, and two loops on the reverse side, slightly bent. It has a three-piece construction, including the twisted string. The size measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches. The surface has normal patina. It is in excellent condition. We consulted a military collector about this piece, and he believes it to be a uniform badge from the Indian Wars, and may date back as early as the 17th century. This will be an incredible find for anyone interested in American history, and Native Americans. Note: A copy of the letter is included.
