P1633     South Carolina shoulder plate converted to buckle
 
Construction is stamped brass, solder filled, originally had iron hooks.  The Confederacy needed buckles and not shoulder plates so quantities of these plates were converted to buckles in small shops in South Carolina.  This one employed brass arrow hooks, crudely fashioned and soldered into place.
War relic was recovered during the war by Captain John A Wheeler, 15th Maine Infantry , and is from the Norm Flayderman collection. Plate measures 64mm  
Ref: Mullinax Plate 400, actual example photographed         Sold!
