ATTN: Steve in PA ..

[creskol]

With regards to the post below, "Civil War or Earlier Brass Badge??" and the follow-up by "johnnyblaze" .. you commented in the thread johnny linked to that, "Those are some great colonial finds there Blaze! You notice the two items that looks like shields? I read in American Digger that they were used to keep the coat tails of long colonial coats in place."

Do you happen to remember which issue of AD that was in? Thanks!

I would have to disagree because of the two iron fasteners on the back suggest they were attached to a saddle or something leather..But maybe they were aatached to a saddle for that purpose

Sometimes things aren't always as they seem, but the purpose of my post is not to argue point but rather to find the source that Steve references.
