Civil War Belt Buckle Question

[southernbandit]

Ok, here is one for all of you experts on Civil War Buckles.
A buddy gave me some things to put on E-Bay for him and most all
the things he gave me were authentic relics. But then he gives me this
one and I can't really find much on it or even a picture of another anywhere.
Inside the box with the buckle there is a note that just says 2nd Texas Inf. Breast Plate 1862.
As you can see also on the back of the buckle it says 1862, Fort Killeen, 2nd Inf, CSA.
And I only doubt the authenticity of it because it has the date on the back of the buckle.
Any information would sure be helpful.

I know this dead horse has been beaten but dates were seldom if ever printed on "Real",buckles.

The font used on the lettering is not consistent with fonts used during the Civil War, in addition, they did not date plates during that era.

no confederate buckle was ever dated,,,,,this isnt even a good fake,,,,,,,steve mullinex's book on confederate plates is the bible,,,
