The Oho shoulder plate is die stamped, solder filled, and fastened by brass hooks.
F1465
Ohio shoulder plate, manufactured by S&S Firearms
Plate is lead filled and uses brass hooks as did the original. The die was
made for this pattern and is not a copy of an original. The position of
the sun and the somewhat vertical lines are the most distinct differences from
the originals.
Buckle measures 63.5mm
Editor note: Plate was obtained directly from S&S Firearms, as a sample of their production to be used in this presentation.
