F1018 CS 2-Piece Belt Buckle Plate
manufactured by Hanover Brass
"This reproduction CS style Two Piece is a MUST for anyone who enjoys civil
war belt buckles. It is cast from red brass. This CS type is dug from the Tn.
battlefields and campsites and a crude casting but has that Confederate look.
The Confederate foundries lacked the zinc that was used to turn the copper
yellow. Has original look."
