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 some of the original gilt on the face.  A spot of light oxidation can be seen above the head of the eagle but does not detract much from the wonderful condition.

The lead-filled reverse shows no oxidation, and both attachment loops are in a near perfect condition. A partial stamping on the back is not easily identifiable but was likely part of the original maker markings.  It appears to be the remnants of a circle with an “X” at center.

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, and presumably unused condition.    [cm][ph:L]
