Without giving your site away I would like to know if you have an idea what regiment that CS plate came from. You can PM me if you wish. Glad to see you made BANNER ...... knew it was a shoo in.

If I had a little more cash I would try to buy that from you. My favorite plate and it means more to me coming from the Western Theater.

The one I have looks almost exactly like yours. It came from a hospital site and a rectangular CSA that I have came from the same site....Chickamauga area. By the way, we are almost at the 150th anniversary of that battle.
