925 Silver Confederate States "CS" Saddle Shield Civil War Cavalry Relic Pendant

Description

This listing is for a very unique, hand-made pendant, designed for Civil War relic hunters, metal detecting enthusiasts and history buffs in-general. My name is Leonard Short and I have combined my two careers of goldsmith/jewelry designer and artifact restoration to create a line of metal detecting jewelry.
This pendant is the newest addition to my relic hunting category and it is a precision REPLICA, modeled from a Confederate, Richmond-made Confederate States "CS" saddle shield. This pendant is NOT an actual Civil-War period artifact!! The authentic shields were attached to some of the Confederate manufactured cavalry and artillery saddles and were made of brass (also occasionally made of zinc). All varieties are very scarce and highly sought after by collectors since they have the magic letters "CS" boldly embossed on the front. The bail on this pendant is uniquely crafted with long-term wear in mind. It has an opening that measures 3mm x 6mm in order to accommodate a very substantial chain. In addition, the bail has my signature, hinge mechanism.
If you are in need of a nice sterling silver chain on which to wear the pendant, please check out my other listings. My recommended chain style for my pendant line is a 2.5 mm diameter sterling silver wheat style chain. I have two listings: one for a 20" wheat and one for an 18".
