nice belt plate --that should be a banner find

That's a great belt plate. Maybe a Cavalry soldier's replacement plate? The reason I say that is because sometimes those boys bent the bottom edge of their plates in a bit so they wouldn't rub or pinch them while they were on horseback. Looks like yours has a similar modification.


Great Find!
