Coin Type" CS 2-Piece Belt
Buckle
Taken from a webpage: "C.S. " coin type "
two-piece sword buckle. Excellent example of a rare Western Theatre buckle. No
repairs or alterations."
Editor note: The following information is from Hanover Brass: "That CS two piece with the coin style CS tongue is a made up buckle by me before I got a copy of the original coin style. Charles Burnett dug the original wreath that has the cut out inside the wreath. I made up the tongue and used a copy of his wreath. This buckle never was from a original." Thank you Gary for telling us about this fake you made, years after it had been placed into the collector community.
