Please look further down this discussion board for the subject "A Piece of the MERRIMAC 1862".
There were such horseshoes made probably a century ago that may be really a piece of the Virginia. However, I understand there were duplicates made much more recently. I believe I have one of each.
I think I can distinguish the documentation that accompanied the two different generations of horseshoes. But I can't distinguish the horseshoes with any certainty.
