    Identification help please

    I was out last weekend with my V3i on a Civil War battle site, near a house that has been occupied since before the Civil War.

    I found a silver "U.S." insignia, a brass "Cura dat Victoriam" insignia, a small bell, brass lantern top, brass door pull, horse bit, 2 axe heads, an Enfield bullet and lots of iron
    I need some help identifying the two insignia.

    Thanks,
    Three Ringer

    WAY TO GO!!!!!!


    Glad I didn't get it all at my old stomping grounds

    The US insignia is WW2 or later, Just a short story as relayed to me by the former residents. Back in the 50's and 60's the owner/farmer of that house employed a poor family as farm workers, they often wore military surplus clothing which they purhcased cheap or received from the owner or other residents in the area who pitied them, I recall fidning several WW2 or vietnam era "modern"brass army buttons.

    The US you have is, I'm pretty sure, collar brass.

    The silver bell might have been off a prize farm animal

    nice whatever they are.

    keep it up.
