A very nice dark brown patina. A solid plate from a very historical battlefield. This is an older recovered belt plate. A very historic recovery location and a very nice-looking plate.  Belt buckles are 4x rarer than cartridge box plates. When we went through old collections like this there are about 3 box plates for every 1 belt plate. Early “puppy paw” style buckles are even more RARE! Recovered what was then off National Park property and is 100% Legal and 100% authentic. All three of the Puppy Paw style hooks are present and   it looks great, in excellent relic condition. Still has the leather remnant from the belt! This is one of the better early pick-up belt plates from an old collection.
