2nd div was my best hunt.Got my 1st 2 eagle a cuffs and eagle a coat.Also got a few other buttons.I am very happy.All sorts of small brass.And toper and a adjuster for sword and belt i am told.(flatened thing and triangle),lots of grommetts,bits and bullets.

The arsenal badge is WWII i think.Or older.It says something like Transford Arsenal.I can only make out bottom of letters on name.Entire thing is brass accept paper piece with clear cover.You can see the bombs on both sides of pin though.I found this today in a park in my short hunt.Passing lite showers my rear.We have a full scale blizzard out side.Not sure weather clear piece is plastic or something else.Very cool though.

It would most probably say "Frankford Arsenal" (a US Government-owned arsenal located in Pennsylvania), which has been the most prolific producer of US Military munitions ever since the civil war. It was closed in 1977.
