CW buckle find near Berlin....

[Erdspiegel]

Hello!

Here's a find,which I made 2 years ago at a dump site near Berlin/Germany.I think it' s a 1840 pattern Union States buckle.
Do you wonder now I will explain:

After the first bomb attack by allies at Berlin,the rubble was taken to a farmers field,used as a dump site for this time.The people who lived in the houses,before breaking down,were almost rich citizens.And a few were antik collectors.So it is possible to get finds from acient times,napoleonic wars,romans,creeks,barrock,french revolution,nazi-party,WW1,or even CW at this dumb site.
I was very surprised by getting this buckle there;believe me.

Greetings from Gernany, Sven

Nice buckle

At various times over the years I've had connections with THers in Belgium and Germany. I was able to purchase some great WWII dug relics from them. They are among my favorite treasures.

Thanks for posting.
