I apologize for REPOSTING a pic that I posted earlier today. But I may have relegated the main attraction to the back seat. So I thought I'd post with the item in the subject line, just for those who are interested in Confederate Maryland items. I've never seen Cannonball guy use all caps, but this is what he wrote about it . . .
"Yes, it is a civil war Maryland Calvert Bottony Cross pin, used by Confederate Maryland units. Yes, it is VERY rare... because there were very few such units. One was the (CS) 4th Maryland Artillery. Your Maryland Cross pin is required uniform equipment for re-enactor members of that unit. As that unit's website says, it was worn on the jacket or kepi."
Pictured with percussion caps for scale. The attachment pins are broken off the back, but you can see where they were. Found in a trench in Hanover County, Virginia.
