Click on an image to enlarge
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 all three of the original belt attachment hooks intact. The verbal history that accompanied this belt buckle is that it was recovered in Antietam, Maryland. The Battle of Antietam, also called the Battle of Sharpsburg, particularly in the Southern United States, took place during the American Civil War on September 17, 1862, between Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Union Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek. Part of the Maryland Campaign, it was the first field army–level engagement in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It remains the bloodiest day in American history, with a tally of 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing on both sides. Although the Union Army suffered heavier casualties than the Confederates, the battle was a major turning point in the Union's favor. This is a nice original State of New York belt buckle that has a great look!
