John, if you are close to Fredericksburg take it by the White Oak Civil War Museum. They have several hundred you can compare it to.
This appears to be one of the items from John’s Treasures on eBay?
By the way, where are you?
John, that is a little far but if you are ever in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area there are several museums where you could compare your plate to known originals.
Now because I don't know, what and how would these plates be used and worn originally?
John, your brother is just up 95 from the White Oak Civil War Museum in Falmouth, VA. They have several hundred that he can see for comparison. It is a private museum and run by very helpful and knowledgeable nice guys.
Be sure we all get a link to sale when things get up and running!
