CLIP CORNER CS BUCKLE ON BELT.

CLIP CORNER CS BUCKLE ON BELT. This is the classic CS clip corner buckle commonly found in Confederate cavalry sites in the Western Theater. Sid Kerksis, in his reference book, states in his opinion, “It is one of the most attractive of the belt buckles fabricated by the Confederate central government.” He states, “There is reason to believe they were possibly manufactured in Columbus, Georgia. They are well-made and finished and have a black enamel background,” which is present on this example. This buckle shows the typical “spinning marks” always seen on this particular type of CS clip corner buckle. It would be difficult to find a nicer example of this popular Confederate buckle. The accompanying belt does not appear orig to this buckle, but this buckle displays very nicely on it. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “”Line in Hooks” case brass belt plate of heavy casting, integral belt hooks.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Buckle is very good overall, exhibiting fine patina and strong traces of orig background enamel. Belt has been cut, broken, and repaired. 4-31409 JS36 (3,500-4,500)
