RARE Matching Pair Dug 1830s United States Dragoons Shoulder Scales Epaulettes

Description

Really hate to sell these, but my collecting interests are taking a different turn.
This is a nice, matching pair of shoulder scales, dug by Jerry Emberlin in the 1980s near Ft. Leavenworth. These are the much wider, older style than what is seen in Civil War era scales. Additionally, both have the original Dragoon "D" button.
Again, these are dug, so there is quite a bit of ground action, plus Emberlin glued a couple of pieces together to make them easier to display. The buttons are very worn, but "Scoville" can be made out on one of them. The last picture shows all the pieces apart.
I put these in deep Riker cases which are included to keep these protected. Uncommon pair from the early days of Westward expansion and the era of forts on the plains.
Always happy to combine shipping on multiple wins!
