Genuine kepis are extremely rare and command very high prices when they do come on the market. This is an opportunity to buy a reproduction kepi at an affordable price but with the look and feel of the genuine article. Our kepis are probably the best aged reproductions currently available.
The 23rd fought in the Peninsula Campaign, in the Battle of Seven Pines, where it lost 143 men in severe fighting. It faced only minor skirmishing during the Seven Days Battles, losing only a few men. In July, it was transferred back to Washington too late to fight in the nearby Second Battle of Bull Run. However, the unit did see action at the subsequent Battle of Chantilly, losing five men.
This kepi would make a great talking piece for your man/woman cave, study, Office, Store, Military instillation, Barbers or similar places of work or play!
An original similar kepi similar to this would probably sell for over $14,000 so grab a replica for a snip of this price!
