Headgear imposed on White House guards during the Nixon regime.
No, 'fraid not. Creative, but not the answer we're looking for.
I'd say Civil War era cavalry due to the crossed swords. Perhaps Getysburg?
How about the bunkhouse at Ft. Laramie?
Oh, and it's either from the cavalry or infantry that was stationed there during the Indian wars of the late 1800's.
Blackfeet Dreamer is right about Civil War-era, Lee Dalton nailed the location. Tomorrow we'll provide some more details.
