Comments:  An example of this plate can be found in "American Military Belt Plates" by J. Duncan Campbell and Michael J. O'Donnell on page 303, plate 486.

This particular type US belt buckle is one of the best I have encountered and will be an excellent addition to any Civil War plate or general relic collection.
