:shocked04: wow great military relics Dave :loveit: :smitten: love the infantry and calvary buttons , wonder what the circumstances happened to make the belt plate break in half :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: would love to see a close up of the eagle thing and i believe the musket hammer went to a percussion cap type rifle more in time with the buttons age . congrats on a very very good hunt |) |:cheering: |:cheering:

That's an impressive collection, especially considering where you are at, not exactly the hot bed of Civil War military activity, fantastic!
