Hey guys, check out this link to another forum. A real coincidence....2 of a kind. Good catch cellrdwellr.
Cellrdwellr you are amazing! Perfect match. Thanks for the the great research! Military or not, it is a cool piece. Anything with an eagle is a special piece to me and this one even more so as it was found in our woods that has been “in the family” since original land patent. You folks are great! Thanks
Wow! I have not been able to find any other match to these rosettes, but wondering if maybe these were once a pair! I found mine in our woods that was originally settled by one of my forefathers “Prentice Palmer”. It seems Prentice came here as original settler in the early 1800s from Conneticut! Specifically seems the Palmers were from the Stonington area, London county Ct.

Any chance you found your rosette in the London county area? I know - 1 in a million chance, but I love the history aspect of this hobby
