Found this a couple of weeks ago. i found one similar but not the same selling for $650 and it was brass. it is in odonnals book of buckles on pg607 and is plate 1020 according to Kugar on today's finds. it is sterling and made by Simon brothers. any price idea would be appreciated. thanks

If you saw the same time frame officers "brass" buckle selling for $650 (post cw) and the person selling it was going by the actual price line of these buckles and it was dug or non dug? .

I would assume this one being listed in Odonnals book and being "silver" and being dug would go for $650-$1,200 imo. I think $650 for a brass one sounds a bit high but it could be the price. This one is def. more rarer. If you can not find your 100% answer online on the price then contact a "certified appraiser" that deals with 19th century time period!

Just spoke with a friend of mine who owns a Civil War shop for over 25 years in Stafford about this buckle. He said $650 is very high for these buckles even for a silver one. Good luck with it.

Thanks Hut site, I hope to get it appraised at some point. anyone can ask any price he wants for something. And ask and ask and ask. The one I found on the web awas not dug

That was not supposed to post so soon, I was not done typing. It was my best find as of yet and I am pretty stoked! If its worth a decent price and I decide to sell it the money will go towards a new detector. I love my ace 250 but I also see what it lacks. I appreciate everyones help and honest opinions on this site.
