Help with 19th Century Belt Plate

[checkit]

I was lucky enough to stumble across a box of old Bannerman stock. If I still had one of his catalogues, this Belt Plate would likely be identified. Looks similar to what some Internet sites refer to simply as a "State Militia" Belt Plate. There were two other buckles - both were Spanish American War era Spanish Colonial Artillery Buckles.

I've only heard them referred to as militia cross belt plates, sometimes cadet.

That's what I heard them called

Okay - it is what it is then. Many thanks for your help.
