This excavated smaller version of the Pattern 1839 oval US belt plate has a dirty tan patina. The small brass face displays the central “US”. The face has acquired a reverse curve and moderate edge damage caused by ground freeze and thaw over the years…and farm plowing. The plate’s reverse has most of the lead fill with exception of damaged edges. The tongue hook and single “arrow” hook remain. This relic was recovered near Berlin, Maryland.  An original “dug” Civil War enlistedman’s belt buckle.   [jet]
