Description: 1851 Pattern Officer’s Sword Belt Eagle Plate This pattern can be seen in American Military Belt Plates by O’Donnell & Campbell, on page 395 (Plate 655). This belt plate is a wartime copy, most likely made locally in small quantity, and being a sand casting, lacks the usual sharpness seen in mass produced, and professionally made examples. The federal shield did not cast nicely; the lettering in the riband lacks a sharp impression. The buckle obviously was copied exactly like the original pattern with the applied wide tongue, but was modified by the owner to fit an existing keeper showing crudely cut sides. There are no sharp edges on the cuts, which are smooth to the touch from good honest wear. The only marking is a benchmark, “4.”An original and honest wartime officer’s buckle.View all photos for condition and detail.
