Civil War Identification Tag. New Hampshire--Tuftonboro. Eagle, WAR OF 1861. Maier-Stahl 5A. Corporal E.C. Piper. Company K, 12th Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers. Brass. 27.5 mm. Choice About Uncirculated.Pierced for suspension. Obv: Stamped CORP. E. C. PIPER / CO. K. / 12TH REG. / N.H.V. / TUFTONBORO. Rev: Federal eagle with inscriptions WAR OF 1861 above and UNITED STATES below. An exceptionally choice example, we were tempted to grade this piece Mint State due to the bright satin to semi-prooflike luster on both sides and the virtual lack of evidence for even minor handling. A few wispy marks are evident, nonetheless, mostly in the open field areas on the obverse. A few of the letters on that side are a bit unevenly stamped, but all inscriptions are clear and fully legible. Vivid bright brassy-gold patina with a full strike and outstanding visual appeal. Premium quality!From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Collector tag included.
