CIVIL WAR BUCKLES BY HANOVER BRASS FOUNDRY

Civil War Belt Buckles by Hanover Brass Foundry. We have been in the business of casting Civil War Belt Buckles for over 40 years. We reproduce over 500 various plates. All of our Civil War buckles are Yellow Brass or Red Brass and are sand cast and hand worked much as the originals were during and before the Civil War era. Each is made from a first generation casting, exclusive to Hanover Brass, the ONLY foundry licensed to cast from original Civil War Belt Buckles. Licensed means that I paid and have a written agreement with the Museum to reproduce the buckles displayed there. The following Belt Plates are reproductions from the originals.
