civil war belt buckle opinions NHSM


Recommended Posts

got this belt buckle with the other two I that I have posted - I'm not familiar with the special marked ones like this one

but I think it is original civil war belt buckle for the New Hampshire State Militia?

the leather parts are stamped watertown arsenal 1864, the cap pouch is the only one legible now,my father got this in about 1970,it was thrown in with a couple of muzzle loaders he bought, I put neats foot oil on it when I was younger along with some other civil war leather, this one survived the best but I would definately warn anybody not to use neatsfoot oil on antique leather
