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! THIS PLATE IS BATTLE DAMAGED (Struck) by either a bullet or shell frag (see photos) Recovered what was then off National Park property and is 100% Legal and 100% authentic. All of the Puppy hooks are present, and it looks great, in good relic condition (see photos). This is one of the better early pick-up belt plates from an old collection. U.S. plates this nice are very difficult to find and only come from old collections. Battlefield recovered plates with recovery history are getting very hard to find. 100% guaranteed to be authentic Gettysburg Museum certified, museum COA provided.   Also note when browsing our web site there are several pages of items, at the bottom of the list look for other page numbers.
