This “dug” Federal waist belt plate is of the regulation 1839. Constructed in the die-struck and rolled brass method, the brass accoutrement’s face shows a clear “US” with nice, smooth dark brown patina. The brass face shows a few very small dings and retains a complete undamaged edge.

Retains 100% of lead fill. Maker’s mark of “W.H. SMITH / BROOKLYN” is visible from under a remaining piece of belt leather. This belt plate features the puppy-paw style hooks with all remaining. Measures approximately 85mm x 55mm.

Recovered near Fredericksburg, VA.    [jet][ph:L]
