Here is an absolutely beautiful original Civil War made soldiers belt and buckle. This is the highly sought after version that was worn by a Confederate soldier from the state of Louisiana. The face of the buckle has the distinctive and proud great seal of the state of Louisiana which depicts the mother pelican feeding her young. The spread wing pelican sits in the nest with the baby pelicans and around their image it has the stars and wreath encircling them. The buckle is made using the stamped brass face that has been lead filled to make it more durable. Then they used solder to apply the attachment hooks that are also made of brass. As you can see the buckle has all three of the original attachment hooks intact. This is the pattern of buckle that is illustrated as plate number 282 in the revised edition of the book entitled Confederate Belt Buckles And Plates by Steve Mullinax. They state that it is believed that these buckles were manufactured in New Orleans until the city fell in the union hands in April 1862. This buckle has several letter scratched into the lead including one that could be initials. This belt and buckle will fit in nicely with any museum quality collection.
