VIRGINIA SABER BELT BUCKLE. 51 mm by 88 mm, this model 1850 saber belt buckle exhibits the state seal of Virginia showing Victory standing triumphantly over the tyrant. The motto “SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS” and “VIRGINIA” are found above and below a state seal. This excavated buckle has been cleaned but still exhibits a brown/green patina, with dirt still clinging in some areas. Buckle shows several bends and a crack in the border at top of buckle as can be seen in the photographs, however it does not hurt the aesthetics of this well detailed belt plate. A benchmark number 503 is seen on reverse near belt hook. CONDITION: Good, as excavated with bends as described above. 4-32837 JS351 (1,500-2,000)
