VERY RARE vintage US 7th Cavalry Lieutenant Colonel rank dress uniform epaulet

  

Up for your consideration, a very old GENUINE (not a replica) US 7th Cavalry Lieutenant Colonel, dress uniform shoulder epaulet (single). What first drew me to the item was the.

Lieutenant Colonel and number 7 with yellow background, it's a 7th cavalry. The hallmark on back of the epaulet is "Pettibone Manufacturing Co of Cincinnati Ohio" my research of the company is that. Were long time makers of military insignia.

A few photos of General. Of former ownership, but can't stop thinking "what if". I have reached out to a military authenticator but no response yet.
