F1014 Script CS 2- Piece Belt Buckle, manufactured by Hanover Brass
"This is a reproduction Script CS 2- Piece belt plate. This style was said to
have been used by Confederate Engineers and Confederate Surgeons. But I believe
that Officer's would have also chosen this for their wear. This reproduction is
cast in red brass and is a beautiful example of a very rare buckle."

"Photo # CS2P14 Plate
002 Script CS Two Piece Belt Plate 49 x 84/wreath ht.49mm. GW stamped in the back. You see this buckle in both
yellow and red metal. Other people casting buckles use this wreath to cast their
CS Plate 001 type . They use most of my patterns to make their casting. Some do
not take my GW off the back. I have made many many of these. Check out flaws for
you to know the difference in an original or reproduction. The bottom of the
wreath has two good flaws to go by."
F1014R Script CS 2- Piece Belt Buckle, manufactured by Hanover Brass
Tongue keeper 46.6mm
Wreath keeper 47.6mm
Wreath height 48.7mm
Editor note: Plate was obtained directly from Hanover Brass.
P0313 CS two
part belt plate, "script" style
Tongue keeper 46.7mm
Wreath keeper 47.1mm
Wreath 49.3mm
Old English style lettering solid brass casting. This
example is second generation casting. Note keeper bars are beveled, tongue is
stepped up.
Beautiful green patina, plate recovered in 1970's
Editor note: This plate was bought in 1986, from a very
reputable dealer. The casting is sharp, the plate does measure small, the
flaws on the back of the tongue appear to match F1014, and the wreath does not
seem to match at all. So is this a repro?
