P3629 ### Maine oval plate, VMM, Volunteer Militia of Maine, small size, arrow hook. . . Buckle depicts, "VMM", Volunteer Militia of Maine. Designed as a belt plate only (there are no boxplates of this size or design), this plate follows the Regulation 1839 and was issued only to a limited number of Maine troops. The small size was used, similar to other US plates produced in the 1840's, it was generally soldered filled and employed a single arrow hook, tongue is flat with no bevel. However the manufacturing quality of these Maine plates was very poor, suggesting they were made under special contract and not by any of the regular producers of the period, the solder filling on most is crumbling, and some never had filler at all Plate6300-Maine Ref: O'Donnell & Campbell, Plate 556 Plate measures 41mm x 71mm, approx. Dug plate arrow hook in place, orginal solder in place, very nice example. Recovered: northern Virginia, Manassas campaign, 1861 or 1862.
