THIS sale IS FOR ONE CIVIL WAR EAGLE BREASTPLATE AND THREE UNIFORM BUTTONS DUG IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THIS SET COMES FROM MY FATHER\'S COLLECTION. HE WAS AN AVID CIVIL WAR HUNTER AND HISTORIAN. HE LOVED ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR. HE WOULD STUDY OLD MAPS AND JOURNALS TO FIND THE LOCATION OF SKIRMISHES AND BATTLES IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. HE DUG THIS IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA ON ONE OF HIS MANY EXPEDITIONS TO FIND CIVIL WAR ARTIFACTS. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT LOCATION.
THE BREASTPLATE DOES NOT HAVE ITS HOOKS. THE SMALLER TWO BUTTONS MEASURE ABOUT 1/2\" IN DIAMETER AND STILL HAVE THEIR METAL LOOPS INTACT. THE LARGER EAGLE BUTTON MEASURES ABOUT 3/4\" IN DIAMETER. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE BACK OF THAT BUTTON (SEE THE LAST PICTURE IN THE SERIES) I DID NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE BUTTON FROM THE VELVET COATED BOX THAT DAD MOUNTED THEM TOO. I DID REMOVE THE BREASTPLATE. IT IS MOUNTED WITH ALLIGATOR CLIPS. THE SET WILL COME TO YOU STILL MOUNTED TO THE BOX. I DO NOT WANT TO TRY AND REMOVE THEM FOR FEAR I WILL DESTROY THEM. I WILL LET YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF THEIR SLOTS.
THIS SET IS PART OF MY DAD\'S COLLECTIONS. I AM SELLING IT FOR MY MOM. MY FATHER PASTED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO. I AM SLOWLY GOING THROUGH HIS COLLECTION AND SELLING SOME ITEMS FOR MOM.
