Hello SSS,
Appearing below are two Civil War Insignias attributed to General James H. Wilson's Cavalry Corps. One of these insignias is currently on sale on Ebay - described as an accurate reproduction of the Wilson cavalry corps insignia. The other insignia is on display at Arlington National Cemetary and is described as a "Very rare "Wilson's Cavalry" gold badge, named to General Wirt Davis" who served as an officer during the Civil War and the Indian Wars.
INSIGNIA #1
INSIGNIA #2
My question to you, do you see a difference in the insignias? Are they both Sharps? Are they both Spencers? or which one is a Sharps and which one is a Spencer? Can you see a difference in the two carbines? Let me know, please.
