Civil war relic id

Posting these for a friend of mine. He has a very extensive CW collection passed down by his dad. He found these in a closet and asked if I knew what they were. There is a quarter (non CW lol) in the photo for reference.

Top row, left: a mid-1800s to early-1900s ladies sash buckle or brooch - can't tell which, because all of its attachments are missing.

Top row, right: a Mosman's 1879 Patent civilian horseharness buckle-shield -- the photo below shows one with the patent-date stamped into its back... and the scan is from an 1895 Montgomery-Ward mailorder catalog's horse-equipment section (but it miss-spells Mosman as Morsman).

Bottom row, left: a tintype or daguerreotype or ambrotype (photo) frame, dating to the civil war era and several decades afterward.

Bottom row, right: various US Army regiment-number and company-letter hat insignia, dating from the civil war era into the Indian Wars era -- the size of yours indicates they are civil war era.

Once again you are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you very much! By the way I made an awesome find the other day. Probably my best find.
