This type of cast brass buckle exists with a variant attributed to a Kentucky Militia unit that is simply this same type eagle on a plain field. There is another variant with \u201cHC\u201d on either side of the eagle, possibly referring to \u201cHarvard Cadets\u201d. I know of one of these CS eagle plates being dug near Columbus KY in a Confederate camp, and this one found at Springfield Alabama by Charles Layfield. It is featured on page 15, Vol. 26, #4 issue of the North-South Trader Magazine (1999). When it was unearthed, there was a portion of the leather belt attached to it, now gone.

Deep red-bronze patina is totally untouched. Leech and Rigdon produced these buckles in limited quantities and they are only excavated in the wake of the Army of Tennessee. Comes from a long time Confederate collection and was once part of the late George Goebel collection. He owned and operated a gift shop on the Shiloh TN. Battlefield in the 1940s-1950s.

The \u201cS\u201d has the \u201cExaggerated\u201d serifs as you can see on page 12, plate #006. Obviously those two styles came from the same Richmond workshop and the letters were placed in the mold individually. Was this done by accident or necessity?
