This corresponds to O’Donnell & Campbell Plate 547, dating 1863-65, and in very good condition, with the arrowhead belt studs and fastening hook in place on the back, with its full lead-solder fill, and the face showing good definition to the letters and raised rim, with just minor shallow handling dings. Please see our photos.

New York followed federal patterns in its plates of the 1850s and 1860s, bringing in the arrow-back style in 1863, and issuing it on accoutrements with a matching cartridge box plate. These are die-struck rolled brass with a lead solder fill to add stiffness and secure the belt hooks. O’Donnell and Campbell note this pattern as the “broad-letter” style, using the same die for the face as the earlier plates, but with the improved fastening studs.

These were intended for the state’s militia, but O’Donnell and Campbell note some of this pattern made their way into the field, having been found on the Wilderness battlefield of May 1864.  [sr] [ph:L]
