F1048 Virginia2-Piece Belt Buckle, manufactured by Hanover Brass
"This reproduction Virginia plate was cast from an original. Cast in yellow
brass. A very rare plate. The original is pictured in the buckle books."
Source: ebay auction by jaglady00 4/15/06 "Virginia2-Piece Belt Buckle Plate copy from original buckle in the VA .Historical Society Item number: 6621082575"
Editor note: "jaglady00" is Hanover Brass, items sold as reproductions. I am not sure where this star on the back is coming from, probably this is a wreath doing double duty with another buckle.
Additional comment from Gary Williams:
"I copied a lot of Norm Fladerman's buckles. The buckles that have
the star on the back were pictured in reference books. He placed a paper star
and it came out in the sand mold as a solid brass star."
Editor comment: That is great explanation Gary, thank you for marking this plate so plainly. You could clean up this whole mess if you would put something like this on the back of all of your plates!
