SA1794 Posted June 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2017 I came across this breastplate today and have a few questions. 1) Is it authentic or a reproduction? 2) Is it Civil War era? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rogers Posted June 30, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2017 Brass loops were used on Ohio breastplates, but the US ones used iron. Can't say I like the color on the face either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunmore1774 Posted June 30, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 30, 2017 Rim is a bit thick and the back looks a little over filled. I'm not a fan of this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA1794 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks for the info. Glad I did not pay much for it. So off it goes into my son's CW collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
