It sure looks in very clean condition. Does it appear to show any age ?

The second and third buckles look hollow and a little newer

Are these buckles only from the Civil War era? Any value as is?

The first buckle is very thin, and bendable. The second one is hollow on the wreath. The third buckle is solid

Most of this was found at Ft. Erie, or on the shipwreck Detroit, found further down the river

I was there last summer for a week! All I thought was ..... I wish I had my metal detector!
Well that wasn’t all I thought! Lol

Once in a while I would come across a gentleman who dug on land when I was diving, and everything he found was indian, he had a pail full of arrowheads. He did not use a detector
