Early Eagle I

[Joe G from Md]

I found this in Civil War camp near Sheperdstown, W. Va. It is 1840's ,I think. It is hard to see but easy to identify it is the only Eagle I with the Eagle facing left in Alberts book. It is GI 80 back has eight six pointed stars. I posted this as Civil War it was a major camp. Maybe he was an old timer, maybe soldier was wearing fathers coat, any ideas?
