This is a great looking original excavated eagle plate that at one time would have adorned the shoulder sling of a Civil War soldier’s cartridge box. This pattern of plate is known to collectors as the eagle breastplate. It has the bold Union eagle on the brass face of the plate. The eagle has the arrows of war in one of her talons and the other talon has the laurel branches of peace. The back of the plate has almost all of the original lead remaining. One of the iron hooks are remaining but rusted after the years in the ground. This is a very nice displaying eagle breastplate.
