Buckles and Plates
"Real plates
don't say 'China' on 'em. CSA, maybe, but not 'China'..."
(overheard at Civil War show)
_______________
Every collection of dug artifacts
should have at least one "buckle" (properly known as "plates"). The options are either go dig one yourself
(mighty hard to do nowadays), or purchase one. If you decide on the former way,
we can sell you batteries. But if you decide on the latter way, we hope
you will select one
of these plates from our stock...

"Boyd & Sons" Marked Boxplate: A great
example of a contractor marked plate No ground action to speak of, both
hooks, smooth lead. Has one deep pit in lead from iron hooks rusting. Face
has a few very tiny freeze cracks but does not affect the overall beauty of
this piece. This is not only an outstanding example with a clear stamping
and both hooks, but it also came from a famous location: "The Confederate
Wishing Well" in Savannah, GA. This was a find made in the early 1980's, in
which thousands of Confederate bullets were found, dumped per orders to keep
the Yanks from getting them when the Confederates abandoned Savannah. Don't
know how a US boxplate got in there, but it did. This find was detailed in
an issue of North South Trader Magazine (not sure which issue). Anyway, a
wonderful marked plate with a wonderful pedigree. In fact, on our bullet
page we have a few of the bullets found there...buy them also and have a
great display! |

Model 1855 Rifleman's Buckle Slide:
Bent, but should be easy to straighten out. If you are lucky enough to have
a rifleman's buckle, you need the slide to go with it. |
