Northern US Brass Plate Badge for the M1855 Cartridge Box US

£14.99 £12.49

United States brass plate badge for the flap of the leather M1855 cartridge box.

This brass oval badge fits onto the flap of the leather cartridge box. The front of the oval badge has the letters US for United States and was used by the northern federal soldiers at the beginning of the American Civil War. 

The heavy brass badge was lined with lead to increase the weight, this was so while in combat and the bag needed to be opened the extra weight helped keep the pouch from blowing around in an effort to keep some of the weather out of the cartridges so they could keep as dry as possible it was also used to show how the south was of pride of being southern.

The "US" cartridge plate badge has two brass loops on the back which fit through the leather flap and then a brass split pin which is included holds the plate badge in place.

To fix the "U.S." brass plate badge on the flap, you will need to cut two small slits into your M1855 cartridge box flap.

Price is for 1 x Brass oval shaped plate badge with "US" on the front and a brass split pin to fix the plate badge on.
