Greetings all,
I recieved a lot of 25mm Old Glory Union figures in a grab bag last month. As I began to prime them I noticed that they have what looks like a 3 pronge tree branch on the side of each kepi/cap. Anyone know what it is? and what unit it may represent?
Any info will be appreciated. |

Could it possibly be the Irish Brigade. They wore a sprig of Boxwood on their caps. |

Yes, it features clearly in the advance of the Irish Brigade in "Gods and Generals." See also this painting: link |

Gungnir is correct. It's Irish brigade troops. If you don't want it, a little filing/sanding will send it "away". |

Thanks everyone. Looks like the Irish Brigade it is. |
