This debate is over two objects. These items were found in an area known for defense lines in 1863 and also battle re-enactments.
The first is an Irish Brigade Hat Insignia, aka an Irish Harp, found as is, patina and all. On the back are soder marks.
Secondly, a scabbard tip. In the photos we have seen of these the scabbard tips have holes, this one has none. There is some patina, at the end, not much though. The re-encactment was the 140th Antietam.
So, whadaya think? Are they real? Your input is appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
