    Cape Pins, Buckles, and Bullets - final shots of my better finds

    OK I'll finish off my Best CW relics in this thread. For you Buckle Boy here is The George McClellan Cape Pin that I use for my Avatar and a profile shot. This was recovered from a Winter Hut site in Stafford, VA in the Union Camp known as the Walnut Grove.

    This one identified in Howard Crouches relic book is of an unknown General. Personally, I think it looks a like Benjamin Butler with a goatee and a little more hair. This one was also found in the Walnut Grove

    Re: OK Buckle Boy.. here are the Cape Pins and others...

    Wow, what a great collection. I love the cape pin.
    The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

    I found a few loose pieces laying around - not near as nice as I've been posting but, then again, any CW relic is a prized possession

    Wow, incredible finds! I love those cape fastener pieces. Nice .69 Austrian too, I was lucky enough to find three pristine ones together in the woods one summer, they are hard to come by in any condition. I think I posted them on the relic forum a year or so ago.
