Yep, it's real and right as rain!! Nice find!! It is an earlier version with what are known as "puppy paw" fasteners. I do not believe any puppy paw buckles have been reproduced. I once had over 30 variations of this type of buckle, yours although severely damaged is a great piece to find!!

It definitely looks real but I've never found any civil war buckles so I can't say from experience if it is real or not.

A Nice Belt Plate IMO.
I wonder how it got into the Condition (The Main Side Damage) it's in.
Also it's in much better shape than the last US box Plate I found.
That said I'm glad to find them in "Any" Condition.
