I'd like to request help in identifying this piece that was dug from a known Civil War site in Northern Virginia. The owner believes it to be the tip of a flagstaff, and my research confirms that some of the finials were in the shape of axes or spears, but I can't find a picture that matches this.
Does anyone recognize this piece and can you tell me more about it?
Thank you for any help you can offer. towne@myhome.org

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows what war these buttons are from or maybe the date of them. They are brass and they are rounded. The large ones measure 3/4" and the small ones about 1/2"

Good evening! Up late researching, and can't find a thing. If anyone can help me in identifying when the U.S. Army may have issued a medical handkerchief. The following was from an estate of a medical doctor. His relatives believe he got this during his time in WWI. Because relatives are so reliable (chuckle), I thought you, the experts might know. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Quick description: White silk handkerchief, purple edge, embroidered corner. THANKS!
HELP!!PARACHUTE STILL SEALED FROM RADIOPLANE IN VAN NUYS CA IN 1959. I DON'T WANT TO OPEN/BREAK THE SEAL, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CLUE TO EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF PARACHUTE IT IS. THE PHOTO IS FROM IT'S ORIGINAL BOX THAT IT'S PACKED IN. THE INFO ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX IS ALSO ON THE SEALED PACKAGE THAT CONTAINS WHAT I ASSUME IS THE PARACHUTE. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU!
Good Evening Everyone! I posted this on the main board, but I think this thread might be more helpful.
I recently acquired this olive wool overcoat, I can't find any identifying tags on it anywhere, only "40L" written in marker on the inside shoulder, I assume that is the size. I think it is real military because I can tell where the patches have been taken off the shoulder. Any ideas on where/when this comes from? Thanks!
