Model 1851 Officers sword belt plate missing the applied silver wreath, as they often are when dug. A very nice find, congratulations! There are a few people that could restore it flat, if you get interested PM me and I'll direct you to them. They won't be able to restore the missing wreath though.

I now know why it looked different, Yours has the early narrow tongue and like PinFire said its a model 1851 sword belt plate missing the wreath. It would have been worn by any Union enlisted man wearing a sword.sscindercoop said:I agree but it looks a little different than other ones Ive seen. Congrats sis that's an awesome findPinFire said:

Thats an awesome find ! 
To bad y'all couldent find the wreath.The way its bent like that I think its possible it fell off when it was bent....possibly by a farmers plow.I'll go back and find it for you and sell it to Coop so he can give it to you for Christmas.
