Confederate plate 173
"Standard" frame buckle
The term "standard" meant uniform or starting point. There are a great many variations in this "standard" piece and because of its simplicity, this is one of the most heavily faked patterns.
F1227 Confederate "standard" frame buckle,
manufactured by Tim Parsley
Plate measures 62.6mm to 63.0mm (plate is not square) X 73.5mm
Editor note: Plate obtained direct from Tim Parsley
F1134
Confederate "standard" frame buckle
"This is a very nice example of a dug Confederate Frame style buckle. It has
no ground distortion, a pleasant mottled green patina, no ground action, shows
distinct file marks and is typical of what most Confederate soldiers used. This
buckle was recovered from the Fredericksburg area, and is pretty much the exact
style shown as Figure 281, page 178 of Keim's book on Confederate General
Service Belt Plates. This one measures 62mm by 69mm. No reserve on this so it is
going. Need to pay some school tuition. Here is an opportunity to obtain a
genuine piece of Civil War Confederate history from an area of Virginia that saw
a lot of that history. Buyer pays shipping cost of $4.50. The pictures pretty
much tell the story. Thanks for looking

Editor note: This seller sells on ebay auction under "Private Auction" and is frequently the subject of conversation on the NVRHA forum on fakes. It is highly doubtful this piece can be shown to be authentic.
