PC4873 US Eagle Plate This US eagle plate is in good condition and was recovered in Culpeper, VA. The brass face of this plate has a super green patina which still retains enough soil to nicely highlight the eagle shown clutching arrows and an olive branch. The rear has nearly all of its solder but is missing its two iron belt attachment loops. There is a small dent in the rim at the 7 o'clock position but this does not detract from this very handsome plate. There are no cracks, bends, or repairs and this fine relic will be an excellent addition to any Civil War belt plate or general relic collection. SOLD |

PC4431 Eagle Plate This excavated eagle plate is in very good condition and its brass face has a very pleasing chocolate brown patina which is smooth and even. At the very top of the eagle's left wing is a worn spot in the brass. The rear has both iron attachment loops present but bent over. There is a full complement of solder which shows evidence of possible soldier carving. Between the wear on the face and the bent loops on this plate, one can conclude that this relic saw plenty of use. This plate was recovered in the Richmond, Va. vicinity in the 1950 - 60's by local relic hunter, Jim Cullinan. Jim was one of the early Civil War relic hunters that started out with a true "army mine detector" that actually required a backpack to operate. It has no cracks, bends, or repairs and will be an excellent addition to any Civil War plate or general relic collection. SOLD |
