3 mint Eagle breast plates from wall of house

[beerdragon54]

I found these local through word of mouth. Guy was helping tear down an old house and found these 3 maker marked, mint, W.H. Smith Eagle plates. Guy found 2 US buckles too but had sold them. Thought it was too good to be true and that they would be fake. Made my day to say the least. Guy had them rolled up in dirty napkins and needed fast cash. Keeping 1 and selling 2.

How super cool! What are they exactly? How big? Did you wear them?

They were basically just decoration on the cartridge box sling.

I always loved this eagle, so much so that I had it put on a challenge coin.

Where are you selling them? How much are they worth? I know civil war stiff is hard to find in this condition.
