Note 136 — Insignia of the Uniformed Militia

This plate, which is of brass with a cast, white-metal likeness of Washington applied with wire fasteners, may well have belonged to either the Washington Greys of Philadelphia or the unit of the same designation of Reading, Pennsylvania. Prints of these two organizations in U.S. Military Magazine[136] show profiles on the shoulder-belts plates, although the plate of the Reading unit is depicted as being oval.
