SOLD

Authentic Civil War Excavated Relic U.S. Belt Plate Recovered on the Port Republic battlefield in Virginia. A great dug plate for the collector who wants an authentic battlefield ground dug relic. A very nice brown/green 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.   Recovered what was then off National Park property and is 100% Legal and 100% authentic. All of the hooks are intact and solid, and it looks great, in excellent relic condition! This is one of the better early pick-up plates from an old collection.  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! US 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. Scarce location! Don’t miss this. Has a very smooth but combat used face and the back is about perfect for a relic. EXCELLENT EARLY EXAMPLE! One of the best we have seen!
