This is a very nice US marked Box Plate. It has a dark brown patina to it. And it has solid lead in the back. But it does have a diggers mark. Its to the left side of the picture. But could very well be put back on a cartridge box. Because both loops are present. One of the hooks is wore a little bit. But altogether a great Box Plate.                                                                                                            $195.00

A nice looking Union Breast Plate. It has both hooks. And has good lead, with minor pitting on the back. It has a nice brown patina to the face.

This is an unusual US belt buckle. It has the square "U". And it has the stud hooks. The face has a neat looking brown patina on it. I have looked at the buckle. And I personally think that it has been repaired. The edge that's on the U side of the buckle looks like it has been touched up.  And on the back I believe that the hook has been put on this buckle. But I have only mentioned that because I will never sell a piece that's been repaired with out telling you first. But the lead looks good to me and the repairs are real minor.                                                                                                                                   $235.00

This is a US plate that was dug in Murfreesboro,TN. It has a great look to the puppy paw buckle. The two puppy paws are still present. But the hook has been broke off. It seems that some of the lead was missing when it was found. And because it was in such good of shape. It looks like the digger might have tried to repair the lead in the back. The face of the buckle is perfect. So I kind of understand why they tried to repair it.                                                                                                            $165.00

This is a neat find. Its a small Baby US Civil War belt buckle. That was found around Corinth, MS. It is in fair condition. The rim and some of the lead is missing but the US is very clear. And it still has its original hooks.                                                                                        $185.00 

I picked this buckle up from a good friend of mine Rafael Eledge From Shiloh Relics. I know these days it is scary to buy a Confederate buckle from just anybody. So that's why I usually buy my Confederate relics from a trust worthy people. It does pay to be cautious. But this  #107 in Steve Mullinax book. It was dug near Blackstock ,SC. On August 16, 2007 in Fairfield County. It is known as the Virginia style buckle.  You can see the three raised  bumps on the face caused from them bending the hooks over. It has one solid hook. The other two hooks are broke of half way down. The buckle has no repairs. It has a nice green patina to it. Some of the patina has flaked off. But it looks really nice. And lets face it, the C.S.A. rectangle is one of the most desirable buckles out there. I was told the pictures didn't do it justice. It actually looks better in person.                                                                                       SALE PRICE $2650.00

This breastplate was dug in Corinth, MS. The rim is gone from about 3/4 of the plate. The hooks are missing But the eagle really stands out. The rim looks like the soldier may have carved it off.                                                                  $95.00

N.C.O. plate found in Iuka MS. It has one hook remaining. I believe that a soldier made a belt buckle out of a breast plate. This was more than likely done by the Civil War soldier. The hooks usually was iron, but as you can see this hook is brass. Its got a dark brown patina on the front. The back is missing most of its lead. But a neat piece to be added to your collection.                                                                                                                            $125.00

A very nice breastplate found on private property around Shiloh TN. The lead is in very good condition. The hooks are rusted of .But all in all this Union breastplate is a very nice plate. It looks like the iron tried to come through the surface on the right wing. But it don't hurt the appearance of the plate.                                                              $155.00
