This is an excavated brass saddle shield from a saddle. This style is often associated with Confederate use with the point of the shield tapering to a sharper point. In good shape with no bends or cracks. Brass has nice patina. This relic was recovered at the camp of the 2nd Army Corps near Taneytown, Maryland.
During the Gettysburg Campaign, thousands of Union soldiers passed through Taneytown to and from the battle. Maj. Gen. George G. Meade arrived early on the morning of June 29th and established his headquarters on the Benjamin Shunk farm near town. General Hancock's 2nd Corps passed through town and camped nearby. [jet]
