This may be one of the rarest artifacts to come across. This came out of a 50 year old collection from central Virginia. Bullet proof vests were sold to soldiers by sutlers and various manufactures. Hundreds of these vests were dropped along the road and piled with other unwanted items due to their weight. This is one of the two front plates that were sewn into the vests.
