Original period manufacture. I believe I have the correct designation regarding the unit, online research and all that. Dark maroon-red wool bag and top, piped in silver wire braid. Enlisted quality fur, being sections pieced together to achieve the cover, silver wire pom at the front top edge. Brass lion cord guide at the rear, the original attaching cord missing, and collector replaced thin silver wire brocade. The interior is lined in a thin maroon silk with a gilt printed crown in the top. Nice original tan leather sweatband remains. Stands 7.25 inches at it's tallest point. The body is cardboard, not torn or crushed.
