| Beautiful Atlanta Arsenal CSA Waist Belt Plate - Recovered Wartrace, Tennessee. |
|
| Here's one real pretty Atlanta Arsenal CSA Rectangular Waist Belt
Buckle/Plate ! It's got a very nice slick green patina, with only a few
minor scuff and use marks on a face/front that displays beautifully !
Reverse shows where someone broke all three belt hooks off, evidently
on purpose. Don't know why, but Dwayne Davis, who excavated this
plate, said it was found in an area that may have been a trash dump.
Still retains a bit of body curve though, and in a case it displays as
perfectly as one that would cost you $3500, but at $1000 dollars
less ! Measures 48mm tall by 69mm wide. Recovered Wartrace,
Tennessee. As with all our items, 100% Guaranteed Authentic !

| Nice US Sword Belt Plate - Recovered Pennsylvania |
|
| Here's a nice 1851 Pattern US Sword Belt Plate, recovered from a
privy ! Good almost typical excavated patina to the entire plate, with
a little brass color showing thru on the shield, located on the eagle's
chest. This is the type with the cast in wreath, so it's still there. Nice
Civil War Period narrow tongue still intact on reverse, and a little of
the original dirt still underneath it. Plate has a slight push near center,
which removed the body curve, but is still quite strong with no cracks
or breaks. Displays as well as any, but priced nice due to the
push. Recovered Pennsylvania.

| Super Nice US Boxplate w/Two Strong loops |
|
| Ok, ok, let me use the word "slick" again. This is a beautiful US Boxplate excavated near Snyder's Bluff, Mississippi. It has a perfect face with a nice dark green patina and no rim dinks, damage, or scaling at all . . none ! Full smooth lead in the back with both loops upright and strong. We dream about digging them in this condition, but rarely do. On a scale of 1 to 10, this one would have to be a 9.9 . Will make an outstanding display ! $265 plus shipping |
 |
| Nice US Boxplate - Full lead & Both Loops |
|
| Here's a wonderful, excavated US boxplate with nice dark green patina,
full lead solder fill, and both iron loops intact ! No damage to the rim or
border, and actually no damage to speak of, to the entire plate. Lead
solder fill on the reverse is uneven, but was likely done during the
manufacturing process. Overall, it's just a beautiful US boxplate, that's
well above ordinary, and displays great ! Recovered Petersburg,
Virginia.

| Excellent US Boxplate w/Both Loops - Dug Port Hudson |
|
| This is another very nice US Boxplate. Slick brown face with just a little bit of scale on the upper left section. This could probably be removed if you wish, but it really looks good just as is. Reverse still has both iron loops remaining upright, and both are strong. Full slick lead is almost smooth, with one minor recent scratch, possibly received when it was dug. This is the pattern with the short fat letters that really stand out well. Dug near Port Hudson, Louisiana, this one will stand out in your US plate display ! $215 plus shipping |

| BEAUTIFUL 2-piece Stamped Militia Buckle |
|
| It's really amazing that this stamped brass Militia Buckle has survived
so many years in the ground this well ! Beautiful ca.1855 2-piece
Militia Buckle, almost identical to Plate 349 in American Military
Belt Plates, by O' Donnell & Campbell. This example was recovered
in California, but they are often found in Civil War sites. The digger
said both halves were found within 10 feet of each other. Just looking
at the close patina and perfect fit, that sounds quite believable too !
Gorgeous deep green smooth patina on the tongue, with good dark
green/brown on the wreath and both belt loops. A very minor bend
in the belt loop of the wreath, but no cracks, breaks, or damage of
any kind to the entire buckle ! Device is a general service type eagle,
on a lined field, with a rope border, and the details stand out great !
Measures 52mm tall by 69mm wide. You could look a long time
before you see another one of these, with mated pieces, in such
excellent condition !

Buckles & Plates, by Steve Mullinax . It has a real nice dark green
patina, with only minor ground action, mostly on the reverse. No
bends, cracks, breaks or repairs on the entire plate. It just displays
great, and would be a first rate example if you need one for your

can aquire a southern manufactured, Confederate Soldier's Plate.
Measures 56mm wide by 69mm tall. Recovered
Culpeper County, Virginia.

| Beautiful Excavated Arrow Hook US Buckle - Full Lead - Recovered Dalton, Georgia. |
|
| Here's a superb example of an excavated US arrow-hook belt
plate ! It's got a beautiful dark green patina on the face, with a couple
of areas nicely toned . Some of the dirt is still on the face, and the
edges are nice all the way around, with no chipping or damage.
Has a very, very tiny bend on the tongue end of the plate, but it's
almost invisible from the front. The reverse has great full lead, as
smooth as you'll see, wtih some small areas around the arrow hooks,
where it has settled. All three belt attachments are still present in
good enough shape, you could wear this buckle if you wanted,
but that's not recommended. Just a way above average example !
Recovered years ago, near Dalton, Georgia.

| Beautiful Medium Size Confederate "Wishbone" Buckle |
|

or "Wishbone" buckle ! There's a beautiful dark green patina on the
entire piece, with no cracks, repairs, or damage of any kind . The buckle
still retains some body curve, and just displays absolutely perfectly !
It seems like you don't see this slick green patina as often as you used to,
at least on Confederate Buckles. This is one excavated example I don't
think you could upgrade. Measures 60mm x 90mm. Recovered
Nashville, Tennesse.

| Nice Western Theatre CS Egg Buckle - Arkansas |
|
| Here is a really nice displaying, excavated western theatre pattern, CS egg belt plate. Recovered several years ago from a Confederate campsite near the Jenkin's Ferry, Arkansas, battlefield. This particular campsite had been occupied by Walker's Texas Division, who had quite a reputation here in the Trans-Mississippi Department.

Known for their ability to make long marches repeatedly, they also fought at Mansfield & Pleasant Hill in Louisiana. A pretty plate that will enhance your Trans-Mississippi CS Collection . SOLD |
