Union 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.
State of New York belt buckle from shipwreck.Thin brass face is long gone but it left a clear "SNY" in the lead.Cool relic. $315.00
I love these oddities! Union arrow hook buckle recovered at Liberty Gap,Tennessee by Dwayne Davis in 1999. This is the 1862 style with the hooks riveted to the tounge portion.As you can see the hooks were slid too close togather when the lead was poured.This would have wallowed out a large single hole in the belt which would not hold very well.Probably why it was abanded.Retains 95% lead on reverse.Bold US with a greenish and chocolate patina.Cool relic! $195.00
Nice dug SNY buckle from Brandy Station.Still has all three hooks and part of the original leather belt that was dug with it.Some rim loss as you can see but the letters are great!Retains 90% of the lead back. $425.00
Nice eagle breastplate with a superb dark chocolate patina.This was dug at Liberty Gap,Tennessee.98% lead remaining on the reverse with most of the two loops remaining.Slight wave on rim with complete face.Displays great. $155.00
Once again,through some horse trading,I'm pleased to offer this item. Fine example of an early militia crossbelt plate. Dug on the battlefield in Munfordville Ky. ages ago by a well known digger who's name will be given to the new owner. Good , strong solid condition with remnants of the four hooks remaining on the reverse.You know this one actually "saw the show". $135.00
Federal eagle breastplate in very good condition. Pleaseing face with no nicks or dings. Eagle has high relief with great detail. Reverse has full lead. As usual the loops have deteriorated away. Pretty buckle.$150.00
