F1344  North Carolina 6th Inf
 

Plate measures 49.7mm X 71.5mm 
Plate has cast in hooks 

The owner of this buckle died, the estate executor submitted this for evaluation.  It was a small collection, most of the expensive buckles were fakes, most of the cheap ones (US buckles and breast plates) were real.  I am certain this collector thought they were all real.  Unfortunately he has taken information as to the sourcing to his grave.
