P0363     Militia or school waist belt plate, possibly Kentucky

Construction is solid brass casting, single brass hook. It is very unusual for oval plate to be solid casting. Many collectors now believe this is associated with a unit from Kentucky but this theory needs more research.

Plate measures 50mm X 78mm
Ref: O'Donnell & Campbell, Plate 580, actual example photographed
