Wow that’s cool I’m totally afraid to do any harm to it.
I think I’ll leave it as is for now.
Thanks I love yours ... this is my first
Cartridge box plate is hate to ruin it

Charlie next time I come over I’ll bring the proper renaissance wax. Then I’ll put a chair over your head and go home. After that Bart and I will each take custody of the plate every other week.

 

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Ok lol Bart was like ok wait it’s yours but I’m taking it home for safe keeping

There’s been some discussion on weather this is a “ bonnet badge”
Or a cartridge box plate
This artist rendition shows that a similar badge was on the cartridge box. Circled in yellow hh gl

I vote for banner finds very rarely as I agree they must be
Of a uncommon special find
I see the banner votes and I appreciate all of them
(Thanks everyone ) It is a cool piece
With both rarity and historical significance
I believe it will be there soon. Thanks again hh gl

Hi , nice find .Seems strange that british regiments were allowed to have traditional style Scottish outfits but the whole civil population of Scotland were not. THE DRESS ACT 1749 till 1782 . Don,t think British Army sang ' The Skye Boat Song or Johnnie Cope or Moghile Mear . James Edward Stuart was rightful King of England and Scotland. TP

Very neat!

 

[UnderMiner]

I can hear the imposing tune of The British Grenadiers flute and drum beat playing in my head just from seeing this!

 

[Valley Ranger]

A rare and epic piece of history. Great save! Banner.

That thing looks neat! Anyone mind filling me in on what a cartridge plate is? I googled it and it took me to HP printers [emoji23]

We’re clueless to wartime relics in the Seattle area.

 

[Eastcoasthunter21]

It is a buckle that holds ammunition box closed

 

[Scrappy]

I just put in my banner vote Charlie, great save, I wish I could have been there with you guys!

Haha, yes, I wish I was there too. It’s always an adventure with Charles and Bart. He told me where he found it and it’s somewhere most of the Basstards gang has been.

 

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Thank you all for the votes I do hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I did finding it
