    first confederate buckle found

    Found near old log house. first one iv'e found. Would like some information on it if possible or a link and what you think the value is. Got me really excited. Oh, by the way, its not for sale. I'll keep it with the other finds. The number on the back is 889 or 688. I don't know which way to turn it. Thanks.

    Very nice buckle, but I am pretty sure that is a Federal one and not Confederate.

    Thanks for the information. I would like to research this more but I don't know where to start. I did a lot of google searches but cant't find anything specific. If you have a link or suggestion I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    Try here for starters http://www.relicman.com/bukc.htm

    Then if you're so inclined, here's a much broader list of dealers
