Original era manufacture. Introduced in 1890, through the efforts of 1st Lieutenant Edward Casey of the 22nd US Infantry. Casey at that time commanded a company of North Cheyenne mounted scouts stationed at Fort Keogh Montana.This pattern helmet, is the only US dress helmet of the era to feature multiple colors in its plume and cording, with the ends of the plume extending 6-8 inches below the edge of the helmet.The helmet is complete with all proper insignia and fittings. None of the wool cords or horsehair plume fluoresce under a UV light, with no fraying or damage to the cords or waffles. Staff pattern plate with a German silver crossed arrows overlay. No extra holes behind the helmet plate, the body is quite sound, the edge binding is not dried up and cracking, the sweatband is pliable but unmarked as to contractor, but likely a Horstman body. Size marked 7. Most of the Indian Scout helmets available on today's market are assembled from original parts which were available from firms such as Bannerman's or W.Stokes Kirk.
