I posted something on this item last year but never got a reply. I believe it to be the face from a CW Era Federal Compass. It is stamped brass with gold gilting. There is a small rust spot near the eagle's talons, most likely where the iron needle rusted away.
This was found between Manassas and Centreville in an area heavily populated with Union relics. I have searched everywhere but cannot find anything on this piece. Any and all help is appreciated.
