Civil War Cartridge Box Eagle Breastplate From Antietam Maryland
Click on an image to enlarge
This is an 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. As you see, the plate is bent and is priced accordingly. The back of the plate has a small amount all of the original lead remaining. Both of the iron loops that would have affixed the plate to the cartridge box shoulder strap are missing in action after the years in the ground. The small tag that accompanied the plate is that it was found on the Roulette Farm in Antietam, Maryland.
