Eagle Plate - Very Nice
This excavated eagle plate is a real beauty! Recovered in the
Richmond, VA vicinity, its brass face is flawless and depicts an eagle
clutching arrows and an olive branch in its talons. The brass has aged
into a very handsome chocolate brown patina. The rear has a full
complement of solder and both iron belt attachment loops still erect.
There are no cracks, breaks, bends, or repairs and this plate will be an
excellent addition to any excavated Civil War plate or general relic
collection.

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.

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.

general relic collection. This plate has not been repaired.
