You'll be a Star if you can tell me what this Star is ! UPDATE!!!
I found this star at a known Confederate Camp this past January even posted a short Youtube video of it when it was dug. I have yet to get it positively ID'ed
I have had one friend tell me it was a very rare Texas Star worn by the Texas Rangers during the Civil war. I've heard the 3D on the star stands for 3rd Company Dragoons, 3rd Division Calvary. I was told this little piece was very valuable. I would love to get a positive ID. I have searched books, old pictures and relic dealers websites and cannot find anything just like it. I will include what data I have been able to find in this post. Are you up for the challenge?
Notice the Star on the hats of the Texas Rangers I've attached. Could this be it?
I've emailed pictures to Butch and Charlie over at American Digger Magazine. They tell me I have found a good one. They contacted Howard Crouch and in Howard's email response says he has seen these with different #'s and letters and this is an extremely rare 3rd Dragoons piece.
I am anxiously awaiting further contact with more information.
