Finest Quality Gilt Wire Shoulder Aiguillette (also available in Silver Wire)  
With so many poor-quality mylar aiguillettes being sold, we found it necessary to offer this superior-grade, metal wire product for officers with more discriminating tastes.  As the image attests this right shoulder aiguillette is simply incredible.  Mylar is not for someone with a Queen's commission.

MIS-040 Shako Drummer's Badge Since the introduction of the cloth mitre cap, drummers had worn a metal drum on the rear of their caps. By the Napoleonic Wars, shakos began to be worn by drummers on campaign, leaving their bearskin caps for the parade square. To make them distinct from the rest of the men's shakos, drummers wore a brass drum on the rear. This continued throughout the first half of the 19th century. Click here for an image of a fifer in 1828 wearing the brass drum at the rear of his shako. A great tradition to revive for your fife and drum corps! Sold out.
