Offered here is a complete set of belt hooks removed from a Pattern 1839 enlisted belt plate. This is a later style known as the “Arrow” pattern of hooks. In a “complete” belt buckle, these would have been embedded in the lead backing of the plate.

Often, Confederate soldiers in need of materials such as lead, sheet brass, or these hooks, melted captured accoutrement plates for the components. In this case the hooks were likely reused just as they are, for their intended purpose, as a waist belt hook. There is some photographic evidence supporting these being used in this fashion.

Hook set is cast brass with “relic” patina. Recovered in Confederate Winter camps in the Orange/Gordonville, Virginia area. [jet] [ph:L]
