What a beautiful day in Virginia, 64 and the sun shining. Grab the machine and headed off to Cloyd Mountain Battle sight. When I got there I observed two guys in blaze orange...deer hunters. Well I decided I'd best stay out of the woods.

I instead decided to hunt the area around the fair grounds. An hour later I was tired of finding clad so I moved to a near by corn field. I was walking alone with the md near the ground, trying to decide where to hunt. I got a faint reading and decided to check it out. Well about 10" down I saw the edge of what appeared to be a buckle...(slow down heart). Out came the old knife and I recovered what appears to be a 3/4 size US buckle. About 1/3 of the buckle is missing. On the back of the buckle is Stamped OHIO 1863. Now here is the strange part. The back of the buckle is also stamped Tiffany Studio New York.

I don't think for a minute this is a civil war US buckle. I just know I haven't seen any thing like it before. What do you think......Thanks TomB

Thanks guys...went to the web site Zesty and found the buckle. Thanks very much TomB

BELT BUCKLES

There might be a fake Tiffany belt buckle shown on some of the pages but if not, remember that there are no genuine Tiffany Studios belt buckles ever made. We offer two sites that specialize in this belt buckle scam and both of them are an excellent reference.

TIFFANY & COMPANY

At no time must Tiffany Studios be confused with Tiffany & Company. Tiffany & Company was founded by the father of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany Studios, and they maintained different locations, different styles and manufactured different items. See TIFFANY & COMPANY for further information about them.

That same bogus company made a great Coca-cola buckle also.
It was also back stamped Tiffany.
