P3065 ### F1065 CSA oval Authentic CSA Belt Buckle Plate, Battlefield Found Condition, No Lead Backing Source: ebay live auction by homesteadauctions, 3122: Authentic CSA Belt Buckle Plate, Battlefield Foun Item number: 6621648495 Editor note: I imagine this auction house sold this item innocently, but in my opinion, this piece is unlikely to be either battlefield found, or manufactured earlier than 1960. I cannot tell from the pictures what metal was used. This piece looks to be completely homemade. It is highly unlikely that this buckle can be found to be authentic.
