TEXAS / MISSISSIPPI TWO PIECE “STAR” BELT BUCKLE ON THE ORIGINAL BELT

$9,750.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 622-193

Current thought is these buckles were made between 1860 and April 1862. It is generally assumed these were manufactured by Thomas, Griswold and Company. The rounded belt loops and concentric ringed wreath are a Confederate era design. The 5 pointed star is set against a stippled background. The oval disc is die struck and soldered to the tongue bar. The brass has a very nice patina.

The black patent leather belt is bordered on the top and bottom edges with a double row of stitching. There remains a single brass wire sword hanger attached to the belt. The belt is in overall very good condition with one weak section on the reverse side. A wonderful and rare belt and buckle worthy of the finest collection.
