My half sister found these items in an old matchbox in her mother's belongings after she passed away.  She showed them to an historian in one of those "roadshows".  They told her they were some kind of "death medals".  They are made of brass, I believe.  There is a red scroll tied to the metal with a string.  There appears to a tiny piece of metal sewn into the end of the scroll.  Can anyone identify what these are?  Or does anyone have any information on how we could look up what they are? 

Can anyone identify this old brass piece? I dug it in a confederate site a couple of months ago. I included the .58 cal. bullet to show it's size. It is heavy, and solid brass.

 Sorry .... due to my computer skills deficiency, this is the only pic I could manage to get on here for now.  I know it's still hard to see.

  Found at what was told was old slave quarters. Out in a pasture. Just want to know what it is. It says,

Hi, I have recently purchased a confederate belt buckle at a local auction in my home town. I am very curious about the buckle. When it was being sold the auctioneer advertised it as some kind of crate seal but on closer examination(after I bought it very resonable) It is a buckle. In large letters it says C.S.A. this is very visable but what wasn't seen at the auction is what raises my curiousity. In much smaller less destinctive print above the CSA it reads "Libby prison". below the CSA it reads"Richmond Virginia Guard company A". The buckle looks very real weather it is or not I'm not sure but I am very interested in the item as I have never seen a specific buckle of this nature. There are no hooks on the back and there are 2 tiny holes one on each side. The buckle is square in shape. can anyone tell me anything about this??

Hello friends. Wondered what your thoughts were on this old buckle i aquired from the estate sale of an elderly gentleman who did lots of diving for relics. I'm thinking that it might be a really old repo but the lead on back looks old and similar to lead that i dig up metal detecting. Any help would be appreciated. thank you in advance. Buckle is 3.5 inches wide.

I found these at a flea market for $1 each, are they Civil War era or not?? I just can't seem to figure out what/who they could be. The backs are all black.

Thanks in advance

Attached are a few pictures of a belt buckle, not sure if it is real but had it looked at years ago and told it was.   I got it with a us buckle/belt and a confederate slouch hat (gar) I sold both the other items years ago and they were real civil war items.   I am interested in selling this buckle, it does have the hooks missing and it had one small hole on each end where it was attached to a plaque the guy had made.  Tom

Hello,
I have an eagle pin that is 1" x 1" that appears to be made of silver.
There is no pin on the relic but I suppose that part was lost.
it is very thin and hollowed out on the back.
Looks as though it was poured in a mold.
It is an eagle sitting on a simple branch.
I am new to this site and don't know how to add pictures of this piece.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank's
Steve
