Fakes, reproductions, replicas, Confederate plate (not listed) Fantasy plates, CSA oval
Items shown on this page have no counterparts in the literature of period pieces. In other words, nothing like this was believed to have existed during the Civil War, these are referred to as "fantasy" pieces, meaning modern "artistic" productions of items that could be imagined to have been used in the Civil War but were not.
F1065 CSA oval
"Authentic CSA Belt Buckle Plate, Battlefield Found Condition, No Lead
Backing"
Source: ebay live auction by homesteadauctions, "3122: Authentic CSA Belt Buckle Plate, Battlefield Foun Item number: 6621648495"
Editor note: I imagine this auction house sold this item innocently, but in my opinion, this piece is unlikely to be either battlefield found, or manufactured earlier than 1960. I cannot tell from the pictures what metal was used. This piece looks to be completely homemade. It is highly unlikely that this buckle can be found to be authentic.
