GROUP OF TEN CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE AND UNION BELT BUCKLES.

SN NSN. 1) Rare McElroy, Macon, GA maker marked Confederate frame buckle. 2) Rare Confederate double tongue frame buckle. 3) Confederate “forked tongue” buckle. 4) Very interesting South Carolina patriotic sash buckle. Lightweight of stamped brass 53 mm X 40 mm. We have never seen this particular sash buckle before as they are quite fragile and rarely survive. There are numerous other similar items commemorating other states like California and Texas and typically date about 1850 but can be later. 5) Standard US late war belt plate with arrow hooks typically excavated in late 1863 or 1864 sites. 6) Standard US enlisted belt plate with arrow hooks, non excavated. 7) Excavated eagle cross belt plate. 8) Round eagle cross belt plate, nice “as found” example. 9) Small size pre-war enlisted US belt buckle. 10) English imported snake buckle. This is a fine, non excavated specimen with 57.5 mm keepers typical of specimens commonly excavated on the battle field in Confederate sites. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: All buckles appear orig and authentic and are in conditions described above. 1) McElroy buckle appears orig but are highly faked, this example measures 53.2 mm X 64.6 mm. With a cleaned patina that does not appear excavated. Buckle looks fine to us however we make no warranties as to other opinions. 2) Appears excavated and cleaned. Both tongues are orig though one is possibly replaced as it has a different patina. Measures 62 mm X about 94 mm. 3) Very good to fine as excavated with deep patina and corrosion.
