Real or Faux? Civil War Shako

[Trooper "D"]

Hat plate of the M1858 Hardee hat, with the double loops for the shako and a soldered brim hook. I'm not sure if they just added the hook to the standard shako eagle. The shako eagle faced the heraldic left while the M1858 eagle faced right.

Great detail info. I'm impressed by the brainiacs on those forums.
