Recommended Posts

I'm on the fence but i think Repo - the arrows and hook just don't look correct - the arrows look too pointy

Thanks for answer better not to take

aged Replica. Tongue has wrong shape and the edges are too sharp on both it and the arrows. Originals I have seen almost have beveled edges.

I've been collecting Civil War for 45 years. The only time I'm aware that I got stiffed was when I rushed to buy a U.S. "bullet struck" buckle. The buckle is almost a duplicate of the one you posted. Unlike CS buckles you can buy a "no doubt about it" U.S. buckle for a little more. I would suggest you purchase one from a reputable dealer rather than risk having doubts about this one. Just my opinion.

I remember the bullet struck buckles around 15 years ago or so. I almost fell for it, and even clicked on the "buy it now" bid on Ebay, and withdrew it when I found out they were fake.
