"Send me your best offer. Hello folks and thanks for looking at my auction.
Here is a Civil War CS Confederate brass belt plate worn by southern troopers
during the Civil War. This is the rare "Culpepper" style plate. This
fine example was purchased at the 2004 Nashville Civil War show. I received some
history on the belt plate as follows: the belt plate was excavated near
Winchester Virginia sometime before 1980 by Mr. James Releford of Leetown,
Virginia. I don't know the exact location or date of excavation.
The belt plate is brass showing a very nice patina. The very diserable "chocolate" patina is seen on much of the belt plate. There is minimal pitting and loss of brass. The tongue and wreath fit very snugly. This style belt plate is shown in the two "bibles" of Civil War era belt plates; Kerksis and Mullinax. The measurements of the belt plate are correct, approximately 90mm wide by 47mm tall. Mullinax Plate 010, page 14 in the Expanded Edition.
The belt plate is 100% guaranteed to be authentic from the Civil War era. The winner has a 10 day inspection period for return minus shipping and insurance costs. I have set a very low reserve to protect my investment. Send me an offer if you like. Please bid with confidence, this belt plate is right as rain!
I will accept certified funds for payment. Money order or cashier check. I will also accept a personal check but must have a short waiting period for the check to clear the account. I am sorry but I do not accept Paypal. Shipping and handling cost is $8 to the USA. Insurance is required and will be calculated at the close of the auction. International bidders are encouraged to bid. I will answer any quesions you may have, just email me. Thanks for your attention and good luck.
