Fakes, reproductions, replicas, Confederate plate 269 Louisiana two piece buckle, laurel leaf "Local"

F1043 Louisiana 2-Piece Belt Buckle Plate
manufactured by Hanover Brass
"This reproduction Louisiana plate was cast from an original. The original was
a Confederate copy of a pre-war Louisiana 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 red brass."
