Can someone tell me if this is a civil war belt buckle? The clasp on the back looks different than other civil war belt buckles I've seen posted online.

Sad but True .I can testify from my own personal experience as a reenactor ever since the Civil War Centennial that your Oval US buckle is a 1960s/70s era reproduction. It was made for use by battle reenactors, but also sold by the hundreds at tourist-shops around the Gettysburg battlefield park, and other civil war parks.
