I was looking at my finds this morning and I have that exact buckle. Mine was found at a spring near a Confederate camp. Wish I knew more about it.
Nice find.

Now that is cool. Very nice buckle. Must be civil war era find. Love it.

You & Relic Nut have the same buckle both from civil war territory. Sounds like you have a nice CW find. Lovely piece. Get some more from that spot.

Wow! That is an exact match. Thanks for sharing it. Mine was found in a Wisconsin cavalry camp. I had seen similar ones but your looks exactly like mine.

Thanks. Wish we knew what the other half looks like. Hope you find yours. I've searched the internet and can't find a match.
