Can you help me out with these?
Item 1 is the easy one (I hope). Pictured is a coat sized Alabama button, with a backmark of “Superfin Paris”. Is this Civil War? Any idea as to its value? Should I polish it – or leave it as is?
Item 2 is an well worn brass eagle about 1” in size with solder on the back. I got this in a box of CW items but I have no idea what this is. Any ideas?
Item 3 is a second "silver" looking eagle that I bet is not Civil War. I bet its not silver either. It attached by a stud with screw threads.
THANKS,
Curt
