Reference: Examples of similar oak leaf pins are found in the following relic reference books:
- "Civil War Artifacts" by Howard R. Crouch on page 162.
- "Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields and Campsites of The Civil War" by Stanley S. Phillips on page 95.
See above pages in additional images.
Comments: This oak leaf pin was acquired directly from the digger's family. These delicate pins are rarely recovered primarily due to the size and quantity and finding one intact is unusual. This example will be an excellent addition to any Civil War insignia, uniform, or general relic collection.
