Private issue. The soldier probably had it made for himself. Very Rare to find one. I have never seen another, although there are some out there. Not hiding anything, but it takes 1-1/2 hours to tour through the museum. I will show a few things as I get time.Copperhead said:Pretty amazing...first one I've ever seen....any info you can provide about them?...were they issued to all soldiers?...thanks for sharing......what else are you hiding from us?
The things I have found and donated, I just put on display. People who donate items are given credit for the item. I have most of my collection on display so I don't need to take credit for them since i am the executive director. Is that what you mean?captain Jack said:amazing finds! Do they give you credit at the display in the museum for finding and donating them?

I am also curious DG. What type of metal is that and was it made from a coin?Copperhead said:dg, what's the size and composition of the tag? ...did some searching about civil war tags and read some were made from coins....was yours specifically made to be a tag?....
To be honest George. I never got around to tracing him down. if anyone wants to.. feel free to do so.bakergeol said:Actually I was curious about the research done on the soldier. Did he survive the war?
