Those are Beaut's. I wonder if these could have been from a Confetrit' officers horse? They are awful fancy looking. Maybe someone here will know a little more about these to help with the ID. Was there any markings on the backsides? Congrat's on some very nice looking relics. I also like the Virginia button as well.

Great finds! What did you use to clean them? Wish I had soil that forgiving
