Original non-excavated Civil War eagle cross belt plate constructed of stamped brass with lead fill.  These plates adorned the cartridge box shoulder sling, and this example retains both iron loops on the reverse and most of the original gilt on the face.

A nice, deep stamping on the lead-filled reverse side reads, “H A DINGEE” – one of the most prolific military equipment contractors of the antebellum and Civil War era.

There are no visible signs of damage, making this the ideal display piece for any collector of Civil War era artifacts and memorabilia.  An item like this is an essential piece for the infantry collector and are very seldom seen in such a nice condition.  [cm][ph:L]
