SOLD
Original Civil War Excavated Relic U.S. Belt Plate (Buckle) With Leather Remnant Recovered At La Buche In Tennessee a great dug plate For the collector who wants an authentic battlefield ground dug relic. A rich 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 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 of the Puppy Paw style hooks are present, and it looks good, in good relic condition. It still has part of the leather belt attached (also a small piece that broke off see photos)! EARLY PICK-UP! U.S. plates are getting 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.
