Old eagle on brass with revolver in claw

[Dirty Digger Doug]

Found this today. It is stamped in thin brass. It is the old style eagle with a bag in one claw and a revolver in the other. Can anyone give me some information on this piece?

Half of a civil war era powder flask. Would've likely been issued with a pistol.

Thanks hbot37. I was hoping it was something like that. Now I have to go back and see if I can find more of it.

Great Save of the powder flask. Still good detail of the eagle too. Here's hoping you can find more pieces of this flask to piece together. Best of luck to you.
