PENSACOLA, FLORIDA 1861 CAMP. This Georgia accoutrement plate as is fine an excavated patina as you will ever find. It still has a card that was attached giving a little history of Georgia troops, excavated in camp near Pensacola. Soldier has trimmed the border from this plate, measuring 76mm x 46mm, originally 85mm x 56mm before trimmed. Soldiers in camps like to whittle; numerous camp objects can be found carved by soldiers, especially bullets. This is a very scarce plate to start with, still retaining the wire loops on reverse. Two relic Civil War officer's buttons accompany this lot including a coat sized eagle "R" (Rifleman) and eagle "C" (cavalry). CONDITION: the Georgia box plate a smooth chocolate brown patina on surface, one wire loop is open, about as nice condition as you can find on similar excavated Civil War belt buckle or accoutrement plates. The "R" button is dented and missing portion of its back, the "C" button is very good retaining about half of its gold plate. (02-24281/JS). NON-GUN. $1,500-2,500.
