[QUOTE="CGB_Spender, post: 258082, member: 4318"]Hey Everyone, I found these two belt buckles at a trash sale in my town. They were labelled as old belt buckles and did not cost much at all. I might be Australian but I know a civil war belt buckle when I see one :P I have a few American clocks from the same time period and am always looking for things to display with them, so whether these buckles are real or reproductions I am not too fussed. The US oval buckle is quite weighty and the CS oval buckle seems to be homemade with a hammered piece of copper and lead soldering on the back. I am unsure if this was a common practice of the time or not. I am no buckle expert so as always any new knowledge is always appreciated. Thanks in advance.
