FP1519      Virginia enlisted belt plate, apparently a fake
  
Plate measures 49.8mm X 67.6mm

Editor note:  Plate was bought years ago, thought to be real. It certainly has plenty of ground action, patina, and aging, but seems to be a little bit too thick, too small, and maybe too crude. I do not know who made this plate. I also do not know absolutely for certain that it is fake, but believe it to be fake so I will not sell it as authentic.
