This listing is for a very unique, hand-made sterling silver 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 a precision replica, modeled from a Civil War era local-made Confederate Alabama Militia "Map On Tree" State seal button (Alberts AB7B / Tice AB204) that was worn during the American Civil War by Alabama troops, as the subject! 
• This pendant is NOT an actual Civil-War period artifact!! 
• This particular style of Alabama button is of two-piece construction and as with all locally-made Alabama buttons, it is very desirable among collectors. The design on the button is an interpretation of the state seal of Alabama. It displays a map of the State of Alabama embossed with navigable waterways and the word "ALABAM", situated on a large oak tree. 
• All details of this button's design are sharp and crisp in the execution of the silver pendant replica. 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. There are  several listings for the following lengths:  18" , 20",  24” and 30”. 
• This is a unique pendant design that you will not find anywhere else! 
Shipping is $8 in the United States. (Other destinations will require a calculation on shipping).
