I found three interesting old pins in a park, and I think at least one of them is an old post-civil war badge! I have found some that look like it, with clasping hands above the actual badge. The one I found online was of a prisoner of war badge. I haven't found this exact one online though, can anyone help me ID it? Also j just noticed that on the back it has a long bar that shifts up and down, which would allow a ribbon to clip in behind it. I definitely believe it's part of a medal!
Also, the white pin is extremely brittle and I believe is made from lead. It has a bell clearly in the center with some decorative features on the outside. No writing or markings. Any ideas for this one? The park they were found in date back to the mid 1800s, with the town going back to the 1700s
