UPDATED/SOLVED Civil War rosette??

[peanut]

I braved the heat yesterday and found this along with some camp lead and a dropped round ball in a Confederate camp. I thought bridle rosette when I first saw it. It was down about 6 inches on a hillside. According to postings on the what is it is a 1st Dragoons bit boss. A once in a life time find!!! blob8
Thanks for lookin, peanut

Looks like a Bit Boss, not sure as to C.W. or not. I'm sure someone can answer you.

That is an early Civil War era bit boss, and is quite rare. It is 1st Dragoons insignia. Congrats on a great find!

Certainly worthy of a banner nomination!

ahhh .. It's not worth but a dollar or two, but I will give you a five spot for it! .. no .. seriously .. That is worth quite a few bucks, especially in that nice condition. I would be sure to have it appraised.

Peanut, you need to modify your original post and put more of a story in about your hunt when you found it to be considered for the banner. I am nominating this find. It is a rare relic, and worthy to be up top!

GREAT recovery!


Best Wishes,


Buck
