CIVIL WAR DOG TAG? PLEASE TELL ME IT IS!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

went back up to a colonial inn site i have done well in the past at.decided to fight through the brush up on the bank behind it.never really worked this hill that good before.targets are almost zero around the foundation and figured why not work it.got a few targets and thought on the way home a few buttons & 2 4 legged creature dog tags oh well.not a total loss.
cleaning the shield tag WOW! please tell me I have just found my 1st Civil War dog tag? sure looks the age to me!
