Fakes, reproductions,
replicas, Confederate plates 212 & 213
Alabama Two piece buckle, laurel leaf wreath
Original is likely a copy of a prewar pattern, however there are no die stamped examples of this pattern shown in the literature. The examples in Mullinax are also cast.
F1007 Alabama
2-Piece Belt Buckle manufactured by Hanover Brass
"This reproduction Alabama plate was cast from an original. The original was a
Confederate copy of a pre-war Alabama state militia 2- piece, this is why it is
a crude casting since the Conferate makers, in their haste, lost much of the
finer details of the original pre-war buckle. Still a desirable buckle with it's
crude Confederate look. A beautiful belt plate. Cast in yellow brass.".
