Thank you for finding items that rightly belong in a Museum and donating them. Your unselfish behavior is to be commended. I have been to a number of grave sites and have found different organization have unique items to honor the Civil War dead. This is probably one such, being from a specific unit. Earlier E-Mails gave details of the Item and pictures were on the E-Bay site.
