Ed,
I know the hang tag thing seems over done by myself. But I want to show you what I mean and the issues I have. Long story but here goes. I got into collecting brass US eagles mostly from flag pole tops. Like German things the are also called pole toppers.. I don't own a book on it I just seem them and like them. So I'll show you 3 photos and let you do some leg work on the internet. If you choose? That are actually very beautiful but hard to nail down as to dates made. So I'll do one at a time. I'm no pro here just love the look of them.
Ok so 1st is this fits in my hand I've seen when people reference it as civil war era but the lower section is quite small for a pole top or topper again I'm not a pro here just what I read on the net.
This weighs about 2 pounds it's quite heavy. I don't think it's civil war but more like 1900s
