E?

One of my digging partners in Tennessee dug this on a battle site on his family's farm.

Would any one know what it may pertain to? If any thing?

Could it possibly be something to do with the Forty-sixth Regiment, Company E?

Looks like half of a frame buckle of some sort.

4h, possibly the "E" from a weather vain just a guess.

Hmmm. Buckle looks more logical

 

[creskol]

Does it look like anything was broken off where the black triangle is?

Part of branding iron

I don't know. I don't have the piece here it's in TN.

I think I'm voting broken buckle.

If it would be a Company letter E, than it will have to marks, one on each end from where wire braids would have been for mounting.

Agreed but I have dug crude fashioned "Trench art" letters before. Where you were like...What was this guy smoking? You know?
