Above the eagle is "E Plubris Unum". Was wondering what service this buckle belongs too.
Spats is correct, this civil war era yankee sword-belt plate, having an "applied" wreath below the eagle, was for Enlisted-men's ranks in the US Cavalry. The officer version was entirely 1-piece solid-cast brass, including the wreath, and the officer version was worn by officers in all branches of the US Army, not just cavalrymen.
