Sorry to have to tell you, despite being dug next to a civil war yankee eagle breastplate, your buckle's "form of attachment" on its back means it is definitely from no earlier than the first half of the 20th Century -- and it is not a Military buckle. The letter C on it could be represent a clothing company or a belt-making company, or some other kind of organization... but like the buckle, that "cutout" letter doesn't refer to anything Military.
