Fakes, reproductions, replicas,
Alabama sword plate, Confederate plate 215

Disclaimer:  by clicking onto this page you are expressly accepting the terms of the disclaimer explained fully on the fakes main page.

Original was fine cast, brazed tongue

F1216     Alabama sword plate manufactured by Hanover Brass

Plate measures 50.6mm X 87.4mm

Editor Note:  This was given to me from Gary Williams, Hanover Brass, it was copied from a plate that I owned at the time.  The brazed hook was missing from the original, you can see the impression of the break, a stock tongue was then affixed in its place.  The dug original had a good bit of ground action, hence the detail is very weak on this copy.
