Item: ExcavatedUS belt buckle
Construction: Stamped thin sheet brass with raised letters "US". Rear with solder fill and arrow type attachment hooks.
Condition: Good, excavated. Its brass front has an even dusty yellow-brown patina with moderate bending in several areas, but mainly around the rim. There is a slice in the brass on the left column of the "U" and a smaller nick on the lower serif of the "S". The rear is missing approximately half of its solder which now has a pebbled appearance. All three attachment hooks are present. While there is a very small break in the rim near the "S", the face has no cracks or other breaks.
Comments: If you like that fresh out-of-the-ground appearance, then this plate is for you. It will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War plate or general relic collection.
Recovered: Remington/Brandy Station, VA area.
Approximate size: 54 x 86 mm.
