Part 2 of the unknowns from civil war site

[Petrie502]

Ok pic 1 and 2 I know it's a heel plate but off of what a Calvary boot ? Any suggestions please?


Pics 3,4 and 5 resemble a shaver but I think it's too large for that but maybe too small to be a broken sword blade!!! HELP?


Pics 6,7 and 8 are of some sort of a button there's no writing or makers mark and at first glance I thought it was a bell, but it's a button, any help on this I would appreciate!!

9 and 10 are of some sort of clip I think, maybe one of you know!!

Thanks for looking and thanks for the help

The button is a ball button. I've been told they're called Zouave buttons mainly found in CS camps I found one

Alright that's cool thanks

Any ideas what kind of heel plate and blade these 2 are

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

blade appears to be a broken draw knife.

I agree with that

I have found those same iron heel plates in sites that had zero Military affiliation....also although Zouve's did use Ball buttons,so did many civilians ....especially Chinese

The blade, I believe, is a portion of a table knife, such as a bread knife or similar, comparable to the many popular Sheffield steel products, widely in use during the 19th Century.
