New year, New permission lands a odd variant pre civil war buckle

[Carolina Relic Hunter]

Got confirmation of my new permission yesterday and made plans to meet the owner this morning. I had no idea that after about 30 minutes of swinging I’d dig this.

I have not been able to identify exactly which one this is, so help if you can and happy hunting in the new year!

I saw this one also, but noticed on mine the eagle is only holding three arrows. Very close though.

Very nice! Oddball variant, this is not in the Kerksis book, but definitely a militia plate!

Stellar pre CW Save on the Eagle Belt Plate, and a great way to begin 2023. Well Done. She'll look great displayed. Your new permission paid off big time.
