🥇 BANNER Battle of Selma Civil War Belt Buckle

[NateD]

Found this yesterday hunting in Selma, AL. I don't know much about Civil War artifacts and would appreciate any information. It was around 6 to 7 inches in the ground. The 3 ringer bullet was found about 10 yards from the buckle.

Does anyone know an approximate value?

Thanks for any information.

Hahaha true

I found the mate to it at Blakely Al. many years ago.
It seems a very few have been found.

BTW, that is a Kerksis CS 293, for reference. As far as resale value, your stunning find has broken hooks on the back, but a similar one can be seen here, about halfway down, for $4850 https://www.armyoftennesseerelics.com/?page_id=11

Thank for the information. How much would the broken hooks affect the value?

Hard to say the value of this, but I would peg it in the $600 range. But I could be waayyyy off. Nevertheless, nice find!

"..I would peg it in the $600 range"

At a minimum, add $2000 to $2400 to that estimate. Easily.

That's neat! I found a very similar one while digging arrowheads along the Brazos river in Texas. I think it was oval though. I'll check. My digging buddy has it. Never fully understood the significance.

Here is a pic of your buckle, there are 8 variants in the Confederate buckle book. Value in the thousands. Great find, hunt slow and find even more great stuff

Any idea on value?

Priceless!
