Quantity Available: 1

Item Code: 1184-131

Standard regulation M1851 NCO sword belt plate measuring 51mm by 85mm. Although a wreath was present on this belt plate at one time, it is no longer present. The details of the integral eagle motif are smoothed out and are not clear and crisp. However, some of the gilt finish remains on the high points.

The face of this sword belt plate shows a dark brown finish with verdigris throughout.

Back of belt plate shows an integral tongue, which has been double stamped with two different bench numbers; “512” is clearly seen but it appears that the number stamped above has been stricken out and is somewhat obscured.  The metal retains a dark brown finish overall.

This NCO sword belt plate was recovered in Orange, Virginia, a location at the center of the Virginia battlefields which was central to the Civil War.  [cla] [ph:L]
