Hello Experts:
Can you please tell me if this is an authentic Civil War ID Disc? After reading the ID classification guide by Joseph Stahl, my biggest concern is where the hole is on the reverse where the name and unit are located. On Eagle ID discs, the hole is to the right of the Eagle, which is correct on my disc. The reverse hole usually begins where the name of the soldier begins. In this case the hole hits where the name ends at the end of the last name Burrington. The alignment is flipped. This may be just an error made by the sutler, and I hope it is, but the guide says to use caution if it is not correctly aligned as the location of the hole is prevalently located in the same location on Eagle Discs. I am attaching an image of the disc, as well as another disc for a soldier named Stanley to be used as reference. Am I just being paranoid?
Thanks in advance for your time.
