Re: AVC militia waist belt plate
You have an Alabama Volunteer Corps plate--and I'm pretty sure it would've seen CW use, even if it might date earlier.  It may even be CW manufacture.  But either way I'm pretty darned sure that's what it is.
Did you have it Professionally Restored? This plate is a Valuable Find!
Regards,
Buckles

Re: AVC militia waist belt plate
Thanks, Buckles,
It was professionally restored. The restorer did an excellent job considering the severity of damage--the problem is that my pics of the "after restoration" were done hurriedly and are not of good quality--I'll try and post some better ones once I get the hang of all this posting business. Thanks for your kind reply. Jack.
