What a great original Civil War excavated set of two shoulder scales. This is the pattern of brass pieces that once adorned the shoulders of the soldier's uniform. They were designed to protect the soldier against shoulder strikes from sabers. As you can imagine they made a word of noise when the soldier would run and they were bright and shiny and made a heck of a target. With these things in mind you can understand why most of them were discarded in the early days of the war. The verbal history that accompanied the pieces is that they were found in Corinth, Mississippi. Corinth was the site of a fierce battle in October of 1862. It was also the staging area for the Confederates before the Battle of Shiloh. It is 20 miles from Shiloh. You get them both for only $195.00. They are also accompanied by 2 of the "keys" that held them onto the soldier's shoulders. They have a great look all over and will display well in your relic room. Item #: C681 Shipping Weight:
