Here is an original Confederate Civil War Kepi. This hat is a genuine period item. I have had it in my collection for over forty years. It came out of an estate here in Upstate NY with other CW items. I don't know the patterns for these kepi's but this could also have been a Veteran hat. No holes in the material or repairs. Missing chinstrap and side buttons. Low bid for a rare piece. See the pics as they are part of the description.
