Fakes, reproductions, replicas, Federal plate 329 
Militia two piece buckle, eagle with fancy wreath
 

Original is crudely stamped, generally thought to have been used by northern militias.  However this was a stock patriotic plate, a good many of these are found on the southern battlefields, suggesting they were issued to southern militias as well
