Click on an image to enlarge
This is an excellent excavated Confederate belt buckle. This is the pattern that is known to collectors as the "Frame" buckle. They have no moving parts and were therefore very durable and effective. They were worn by the regular fighting men of the Civil War. This is the pattern that is illustrated as figure #173 in the Mullinax buckle book. This one is in attractive excavated condition with a thick dark patina all over. It hasn't had any repair or restoration at all. The verbal history that accompanied this buckle is that it was recovered near the battle of the Wilderness in Virginia. The Battle of the Wilderness was fought on May 5–7, 1864, during the American Civil War. It was the first battle of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Virginia Overland Campaign against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. The fighting occurred in a wooded area near Locust Grove, Virginia, about 20 miles west of Fredericksburg. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, nearly 29,000 in total, a harbinger of a war of attrition by Grant against Lee's army and, eventually, against the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia. It is a great looking untouched Confederate frame style belt buckle.
