US Belt Buckle - Arrow Type Hooks
SOLD
Item: US Waist Belt Buckle - Arrow Type Hooks
Construction: Stamped thin sheet brass with raised letters "US". Rear with solder fill and brass arrow belt attachment hooks.
Condition: Good, excavated. Its brass front has a mixed brown patina. The rim is complete with a very small section bent over to the rear and mainly only visible from the side view. Most of the rear solder is present with significant portions missing in three areas, two at the rim and one near the single hook which actually may be the result of a casting flaw. All three hooks are present and secure. There are no cracks, bends or repairs.
Recovered: Bermuda Hundred, VA.
Approximate size: 55 x 85 mm.
Reference: Two examples with similarly shaped "US" letter styles are found in the following Civil War belt plate reference book:

See the above page in the additional images.
Comments: This buckle will be an excellent addition to any Civil War buckle, plate, or general relic collection.
