EXCAVATED REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA BRITISH INSIGNIA
These were found this year at a site in King George County, Virginia. The
cast brass crown is approximately 1-7/8" wide by 1-38" tall and is double
sided. It looks like part of a cross belt plate, or perhaps a cartridge box
plate. We could not find an exact match, but see pages 10, 11 & 159 of
Insignia of Independence by Don Troiani and James Kochan for similar pieces.
The other cast brass piece is about 2-1/2" tall and 1-5/8"
wide, with a piece missing at the top. It has one finished side and we don't
know exactly what it is except early and cool!

MINIATURE PAINTING OF LORD HORATIO NELSON
Nelson was noted for his inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and
unconventional tactics, which together resulted in a number of decisive British
naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was wounded several
times in combat, losing the sight in one eye in Corsica and most of one arm in
the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife. He was shot and
killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar near the port city of
Cádiz in 1805.
The beautiful frame is about 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" and the
painting is about 3-1/2" x 2-3/4"and is protected by a slightly convex cover
glass.
