I'm certain this piece was the face of a Confederate cartridge box plate. Cartridge box plates were made using the same dies those from which belt buckle face plates were produced. This is certainly the size, style and pattern one would expect to find used for a0 cartridge box plate. The Photos and information about this cartridge box plate can be found in the reference book by Sydney Kerksis entitled, Plates and Buckles of the American Military 1795 to 1874. It is pictured as a buckle on page 277 and identified as figure 270, but as i said earlier , the same dies that were used in making buckles were also used to form the faces of the box plates. I could be wrong and perhaps this is actually a belt buckle plate, but either way it is one I bought almost thirty years ago at a roadside market south of Frederick, Md. as i made my way to conduct some business in Charleston W.Va. If I had been able to afford all the things I would have liked to buy back in thoase times when items like this could occasionally be bought from venders and at yard sales found in so many of the historic battle cites I spent so many years doing business in, I would have been rich and retired for years by now. Unfortunately money was not sometyhing I had very much extra on hand back then, but sometimes its nice to think about what might have been.
