Joel Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I found this medal in a private 1800's yard and thought it was a military medal but could not locate anything that matched. It appears to be copper with material that was apparently inlaid on the front. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Might be from a hat or bag? Looks like it had a cloth covering in the middle at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Kac, You're guess is as good as any at this time. I was leaning towards military because of the two eagle heads st the top. Also it measures 2.25" tall. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Your probably right on military so if that is the case the cloth might have been a flag? Maybe it was a buckle cover that went to a satchel or bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Steve, That covers a lot of ground. This may remain a mystery and will always be interesting. Thanks again for your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I've looked at hundreds of US military medals and awards, Boy Scouts, and have been looking at German, Italian, and others! No luck yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
