Congratulations. : )

By the way... with that particular item, you have an advantage which a lot of collectors don't have.

[humor-mode: ON]
"Pssst! Hey pal, ya wanna buy some Gettysburg relics?"

[humor-mode: OFF]
The advantage is, you know for certain where that eagle-breastplate in your collection REALLY came from. Please mark it somehow, so its history can't ever get lost.

Regards,

I could not think of a better person I would rather share a bit of history with....
I hope you enjoy it as much as the enjoyment we had the day we found it.....
