Federal Artillery Eagle "A" Button

[jerseyben]

Found my first Civil War button today. I believe it is a Federal Artillery Eagle "A" Button with rays. I looked it up and because of the rays I think it is Albert AY78 / 79, Tice AY215A2.

Rinsed in peroxide and then distilled water only.

What's even better is I found this less than 10 minutes from my house and only 1 hour after taking my new (replacement) E-Trac out of the box!

I don't know why, but for some reason I sense the man who lost if may have been carrying a spoon...
