UShistorybuff00 Posted January 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2022 Hello everyone. I picked this up yesterday. Wonder if it’s authentic and what part of the belt it would this attach to? No markings at all on this thing. So leads me to believe it’s a repro. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCapturephotos Posted January 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2022 With that patina I would say a repro. Here is a link to an original belt with the keeper in place giving you an idea of how it worked.https://civilwarshop.com/shop/civil-war-union-m1855-61-oval-us-belt-plate-on-original-leather-with-keeper-well-used/ Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
