ok this is posted for hunting partner, he is not a member here YET. He found this sunday when we hunted together, and he thought it was trash and threw it in my junk barrel. Well last nite I found it online and told him he threw away a civil war sword hanger. the one he found is the one with the blue background, the one with the red background is on this website
http://www.virginiarelics.com/misc.htm
scroll down about halfway to see it, the website says this:
This brass sword hanger is in excellent condition and has a very nice brown patina. A similar example of this sword hanger can be found on page 183 as illustration #8 in the book "Excavated Artifacts From Battlefields and Campsites of the civil War 1861-1865" by Stanley S. Phillips and also on page 191 in illustration #6 in the book "Civil War Artifacts: A guide for the Historian" by Howard R. Crouch.
I also attached another picture as well as to how it was used on a soldiers belt.
I also found this heart heel plate on the same property, i am thinking it is civil war "ERA" as well
