Description
This is an original excavated eagle plate that at one time would have adorned the shoulder sling of a Civil War soldier's cartridge box. This pattern of plate is known to collectors as the eagle breastplate. It has the bold Union eagle on the brass face of the plate. The eagle has the arrows of war in one of her talons and the other talon has the laurel branches of peace. The back of the plate has almost all of the original lead remaining. Neither of the two iron loops that would have affixed the plate to the cartridge box shoulder strap are remaining after the years in the ground. This plate was recovered at Columbus Ky. This one displays beautifully.
