"A Very RARE, very Clean and Original Civil War Confederate States of
America (CSA) Maryland Belt Buckle. This buckle is an oval measuring 3-1/4"
x 2-1/8". It is constructed of Bronze with a Lead filled back. It has the
hooks for affixing to a belt. The piece is nicely made but it has some bending
to the piece as evidenced in the pictures. The hooks were filed a bit by some
idiot and some of the patina has been removed as a result. The buckle apparently
is a very rare piece of early CW Confederate history. I have attached a few
pictures for close up viewing. The piece is in overall VF to VF+ Condition. The
piece is unmarked. A nice, Very Clean, Original piece of Confederate Civil War
memorabilia. Winning Bidder to add $15.00 postage, insurance and handling. Good
Luck and Happy Bidding!!!"

Editor note: This appears to be a cast plate, the back milled out, these arrow hooks soldered onto the back, an then lead filled. No arrow hook Maryland plate is likely to be authentic. The hooks on this buckle appear to be homemade at best.
