Hello everyone,

This looks like a great forum!
The other day I dug this rivet up. Someone told me it was from a Civil War knapsack.
I found A thread here that has some drawing of knapsacks. The very first knapsack has rivets but I can't tell from the drawing if they have stars. Does anyone have one of these knapsacks? Here is that post.

Any help identifying the type of pack it came from would be appreciated.
Here are some pictures and the video of the actual find.

Looks like an old blue jean rivet, the old rivets from the late 1800s were fairly large, in fact if you go online on the Levi site there is a video about what might be the oldest pair of jeans extant and a similar rivet is used all over the pair.

I have a non rigid double knapsack. I posted pictures under How do you display your knapsack on this forum.

I have on of the non rigid double packs. The rivets are nothing like what you have. I've posted pictures in "How do you display your knapsack" on this forum if you want to take a look.
