    belt plate ID-ed

    Original Post:
    Found this buckle about 8" down on an old farm, can't find it on the net. It dosn't have the green patina over it more blackish gray. Any idea's and do you think it real. Farm date back to mid 1800's. It's really blackish gray the brite light on my pool table lightens it up.

    Was Id-ed at this web site to be 1815-1825 silver Infantry officers Belt Buckle data at site below also Buckleboy agrees it's real, now to find out what its worth.

    The buckle books for $350.00+. It's a nice plate and with the condition it's in I think it should be worth more than 350

    In "American Military Belt Plates (O'Donnell & Campbell, 1996) your plate appears to be Plate #153 (Pg. 102) and is listed as "Waist Belt Plate, Common Militia Plate, ca. 1818-1835"
    The description states:"Stock pattern plate widely distributed to the enrolled militia and independent companies during the 1820's and 1830's. Made of both brass and copper, and often gilded or silver-plated, these were gradually phased out by a series of less expensive panel plates during the 1840's."

    A great find! Take care, Geologyjohn
