Confederate Plates: Due to the many fakes on the market, all of my buckles are checked out by at least two
other dealers. I stand behind the authenticity of all my relics.
Large size Confederate wishbone buckle dug at Brice's Crossroads.Solid,strong condition but is a little out of square as you can see.Tongue moves freely along the crossbar.The tip is missing on one side of the tongue probably due to a casting flaw.100%,original Confederate buckle that was "there"! $495.00
Thick,beveled edge Confederate frame buckle recovered in the Shiloh,Tennessee area.Nice dark patina throughout.Measures 53X62 MM.One edge slightly pushed inward as you can see.A slight stress crack in one corner but it does not go all the way through the metal.Stable condition. $485.00
Nice dug Confederate hammered brass belt buckle from Normandy,Tennessee from a Confederate camp.Diggers name will be given to new owner.This is thicker than the rolled brass sheet buckles.Mike O'Donnell examined this buckle recently at the Mansfield,Ohio civil war show and said it's as right as rain!Corner is folded in as you can see and there are a couple small edge cracks.Can be easily repaired by Robert McDaniel if wished but I like it how it is.Straight out of the sacred soil of Tennessee!Measures 85X57mm. $350.00
