"CSA" Is this what i think it is?!!

[asmerri]

Found today about 6 Inches down at the site of an 1880s demolished home. I just loaded the fragments up in my pouch and didn't think anything of them. When I got home and put the puzzle together my jaw dropped. Is the Civil War CSA?!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What State did you find it in ? That alone can open up possible leads

Had I known what I was digging up I definitely would have spelt a LOT more time in that hole. I will be going back for sure.

Far north Texas I would start looking up Texas Mounted rifles Terrys Rangers and try to get a picture of one of them with a belt buckle Always good to know where abouts an item was found

What does the back look like? Any signs of attachment hooks? I'll have to say I have never seen a CSA plate with a double border like yours but, there are a lot of things I have yet to see!

I had to leave my house before I got a chance to clean or evaluate the back side of the piece. The plate is pretty thin. I'm not exactly sure how thick normal CSA plates are. Here's a pic of the thickness.

Nice find!!

Can't wait to hear from an expert if it's the real deal. If it is I know there are restoration artists that can probably get it back to 1 piece (for a price). A guy in our club found a mangled SC breast plate & the restoration was very impressive.

Nice find. We will have to look at old civil war pics to try and find what that is.

I have been Googling pictures like crazy and still haven't found a match. I sure hope its the real deal. It seems to be really old just from its appearance. However I know that doesn't necessarily mean it authentic.

Nice find for sure here in North Texas. There was activity around here, just no big battles.
