These were all found on a battle site today by me. The oval plate is what I need an ID for. It's very thick brass and when I saw it in the bottom of the hole I just new I had a plate!!!!!! Dang it!!!! The question now is what is it? Is it CW period? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It does resemble a cow tag. I found two of them about a month ago in a pasture...... has been a pasture since at least the thirties. Mine had the numbers 36 on one and 37 on the other. And, mine were still attached to the chains that slipped over the cows' necks. I gave them to the land's owner who appreciated them..... he had wondered if they had hung from the necks of his father's or grandfather's cattle.

Some vintage cow tags were given to the farmers with vaccination lots. Each cow had a number such as your #1. The herd would be evaluated for the effectiveness or failure of the vaccination that was being treated. Some of the serums used for various cattle diseases were experimental and very collectable in todays market. The reverse on your cow tag might have the serum lot or company name that can be traced. If your cow was undergoing treatment or vaccination for some sort of "Collectable" disease....Just having #1 could make your tag worth more than others. Hope you got a good one!

Belongs to the First Regiment of Angus Brigade, Guernsey's Division. LOL, I've been there, done that Scott. Just knew I had a plate when I saw the edge down in the hole. Same as yours: #34 cow tag. Good hunting, David@Dixie
