Found these today. 1867 2 cent and I believe it is a civil war officers belt buckle. it is missing a couple of parts. but is still really cool. does anybody have any cleaning suggestions.
 
WOW! Awesome finds. I'm not sure about cleaning but if it was me, a toothpick would be it until someone comes up with a better option.
 
Holy cow Tom! That is amazing! Congrats to you and nice work! :clap:
 
I have read in other forums that after the war soldiers would often where their uniforms to work in once they returned home. Perhaps this man continued to use his belt once he returned home, took it off one hot day and forgot about it. I wonder if you could find old Plat maps from that time and maybe figure out who owened the land at that time. Possibility it could be that persons. Think it would be neat to know the history behind it.

Anyway, again, awesome finds!
 
Troy i found it at a ghost town site i have found that there was only 8 men from this town that were officers in the civil war

CIVIL WAR REGULATION MODEL 1851 PATTERN U.S. OFFICER'S RECTANGULAR SWORD BELT PLATE.


Dandy find and congratulations on the two cent piece as well. Soap and water with a soft brush should be all that you need to clean it up.
 
What awesome finds. I've NEVER seen anything like it Tom. BIG CONGRATULATIONS! Sweet two cent piece also. Very VERY cool finds and HH, Nancy
 
Many used their uniforms at funerals for Veterans, some joined the GAR, even at parades, Kids even lost them while playing. You have a very nice buckle, Larry has it right, leave it as is with soapy water and light toothbrush to unclog the dirt. Congratulations.
 
Now thats a SCORE! :surprised: If only that thing could talk! What an amazing hobby! Gives me the chills just looking at it!
