This is a great looking belt buckle! This is the belt buckle from the state of New York. It is the style pictured as figure #545 in O'Donnell's buckle book. He lists it as the infantry pattern enlisted man's belt buckle. It has the clear "SNY" lettering on the face that stands for the state of New York. It has a few chips around the edge and it is priced accordingly. This is the classic style that was worn by the soldiers from New York during the Civil War. The face has a nice brown patina to the brass. On the back of the buckle it has two of the three of the original belt attachment hooks intact. The verbal history that accompanied this belt buckle is that it was recovered near Fredericksburg, Virginia. This is the area of some very fierce fighting. Fredericksburg lies half way between Washington, DC and Richmond Virginia. It has the old note on the back that means it was found on February 8th 1959 in an area occupied by the 2nd Corps, 2nd Division. This is a nice original State of New York belt buckle that has a great look!
